Why Exhaustion Is Not Normal (Even If the World Says It Is)
Introduction: The Lie We’ve Believed
We live in a culture where exhaustion is worn like a badge of honor. People brag about late nights, hustle, and “running on fumes.” But normalizing burnout doesn’t make it healthy.
Fatigue is not a character trait, it’s a warning sign. And it’s certainly not how God designed you to live.
What the World Calls “Normal”
“Everyone drinks three cups of coffee just to function.”
“You’re a mom of course you’re always tired.”
“It’s just part of getting older.”
But Scripture paints a different picture: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28).
What Exhaustion Really Means
Chronic fatigue often signals deeper imbalances:
Hormonal shifts
Gut or nutrient deficiencies
Poor sleep hygiene
Emotional or spiritual stress
It’s your body asking for help not condemning you to live this way forever.
God’s Design Is Different
God calls His people to be set apart, even in how we live. That means refusing to accept exhaustion as the standard. Instead:
Prioritize Rest: Rest was built into creation itself.
Nourish the Body: Eat in a way that sustains energy.
Renew the Spirit: Prayer and Scripture refresh more deeply than Netflix binges ever could.
Seek Balance, Not Burnout: You are not meant to carry every burden alone.
A Word of Hope
If you’ve believed that exhaustion is just your lot in life, know this: God wants more for you. He wants you vibrant, restored, and fully alive.
“The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me” (Psalm 28:7).
