The demands of my clients are endless and this well of need will never be filled. After I am used up and gone, another will step in and take my place and so on.
I feel myself burning out and the demands upon me are increasing rather than decreasing.
Refreshment is something I need and I've been looking for it everywhere - in my faith, in trying new ways to entertain myself, in shopping, in confiding my exhaustion to friends, in planning ahead to new adventures and activities, in psychiatry, in sleep.
I wake up with the same burdens I lay down with.
I am tired and I can see that every ounce of energy I have will be juiced out of me before the rind of whats left of me is cast aside - used up and no longer good for anything.
Lord, look at me and have mercy upon me and help my sadness. With your unfailing love refresh my broken and limping spirit.
