Feeling drained? What do you do to get filled up? How do you respond to get energized? What is sucking your power and draining you? Are there things going on that are causing you to feel tired? How will you respond?
Invite God into your life and situation! Cast your cares upon Him! Invite Jesus into your life and exchange your yokes and burdens which are hard and heavy for His which are easy and lite. Invite the Holy Spirit into your life to fill you with the love of God to overflow so that you won’t be drained but filled. Even during trials, consider them pure joy and persevere for when it has completed its work you will be complete and lacking nothing!
