Burnout.

Burnout is not always solved by trying harder. Scripture repeatedly includes limits, sleep, Sabbath, shared responsibility, and rhythms that remind us we are creatures rather than machines.

A grounded place to begin

How do I know whether I need perseverance or permission to stop?

Rest is not a reward for becoming limitless. Wise faithfulness includes saying no, delegating, receiving help, and distinguishing urgent work from work that can wait.

Try this today: Identify one responsibility to pause, delegate, renegotiate, or simplify this week and protect one realistic block of rest.
