283. How to Keep Trusting God When You’re Too Tired to Keep Going

24 minutes

“Have you ever thought, I am so tired, I love the Lord, I pray, I serve, but I don't think I can keep doing this?” That’s where Episode 283 begins—naming the ache many of us whisper in the dark.

Lizette shares how the Lord met her own exhaustion and then anchors us in four truths:

The race is long—God will renew you. “The Christian life is race… not a sprint. … They who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength… they shall run and not be weary.” (Isaiah 40:29–31)

The reward is sure. “Let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season you will reap, if we do not give up.” (Galatians 6:9) Faithful, unseen obedience is never wasted—even when the sheets, the night watches, and the hard choices stack up.

You are weak—God is your portion. “My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” (Psalm 73:26) Our endurance rests not on clinging to God but on God clinging to us.

The finish line is glory. “Let us run with endurance… looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith.” (Hebrews 12:1–2) This journey ends with Christ, not chaos.

Because God is a God of dignity, order, and truth, we can care without “therapeutic lying,” and we can keep walking with clarity through the Think Different Dementia Method™, Therapeutic Truth-Telling™, and the Contented Caregiver Blueprint™.

Lizette also opens the doors to a new Christian caregiver community—lifetime access for less than 100 dollars, with monthly AMAs, prayer meetings, a curated resource library, and Q&A between sessions. She’s inviting the first 100 caregivers to join.

You’re not running alone. He will carry you to the finish line.
