The Healer & Hope Giver: Practicing Out Loud

Devotional 7: When Staying Feels Heavy


Listen Later

There are seasons when weariness doesn’t mean something is wrong — it means something has been carried for a long time.

In this devotional, we sit with Scripture that names weariness honestly and invites us to stay gently present instead of rushing to fix or restart. Through passages that speak to endurance, daily mercy, and God’s steady presence, this episode offers space to breathe, reflect, and remember that quiet faithfulness still matters.

This devotional is for anyone who is tired but still trying — and wondering how to stay without abandoning themselves in the process.


EXPANDED SHOW NOTES

Weariness has a way of making us question ourselves.

We wonder if we’ve lost momentum, drifted off course, or failed to do something “right.” But Scripture tells a different story — one that assumes weariness as part of faithful living and meets it with compassion rather than correction.

In this devotional, we reflect on several passages that speak to staying when the middle feels heavy: Galatians 6, Psalm 37, Lamentations 3, and Hebrews 12. Together, they remind us that God is present in ordinary endurance, that mercy meets us daily, and that staying doesn’t require urgency or perfection.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, stay connected, and trust that God is at work even when growth feels quiet and unseen.
