Most of us can probably relate to having times when we are too busy. We feel like it all depends on us to get things done.

In these times I have a weariness test that I give myself every now and then. I use the letters of the word weary.

W – Do I feel like I am working day and night? Or am I waiting on the Lord and responding to His promptings?

E – Does it feel like everything depends on me to get done? Or does everything depend on God and I just play my part?

A – Am I always rushing around to get things done? Or am I allowed to relax and have time off to do the things I enjoy?

R – Am I restless and can’t keep still? Or am I resting in Christ?

Y – Am I saying yes to everyone and everything? Or am I yielded to God and saying yes to Him?

If my answers are more on the left, I may be weary and need to rest and take some time out. I might to go and sit on the rock and pray in the photo above.

I may need to hear Jesus’ words afresh to “Come to me all who are weary and I will give you rest?” I may need some time to be alone with Him.
