This is helping so much. My wife was diagnosed with cancer. I was diagnosed with diabetes. And then I lost my job and need to continue being a part time pastor. Sometimes, life is hard! But God is still God.
Tears falling 😢……. Praise God for leading me to this message tonight. Thank you for being humble, open and transparent obedient servant of Yahweh! I will play this over again. ❤
Whoever is reading this I pray for peace, wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and great health. May we come together and walk in unity so we can have love for one another.
Burnout is what happens when you try to avoid being human for too long. Self-care is giving yourself permission to pause. I pray that God restores anyone who’s experiencing burnout and gives us strength. Thank you Pastor Craig. Needed this ❤
This message is definitely for me! I am definitely mentally and physically drained. I call on the name of Jesus to help heal me from all my pain and brokenness.
At home now feeling paralyzed from cognitive declined due to burnout. Your message is so timely. Thank God for your honesty and for his encouragement through you in such a time as this. Thank you Lord
THIS REALLY DID SPEAK FOR ME. I just got injured in my bjj class. I was loaded and this was the only way out to rest, thankfully. He’s speaking to me in SO MANY WAYS. He’s merciful, He’s welcoming, He’s Forever Loving. I love you Jesus. ❤️ Just come to Him. Thank you Lord!
This is the message I needed. Juggling work, coaching, and home. Last four years I was stress, burnout, most of all emotional break down. Thank you lord, thank you for leading me to this message.
l am asking for prayer my son Lee is going through surgery Tuesday 27th at 930am for the lump on his neck and collar bone that is cancer thank you Judy Barrett
❤️Praying for a smooth surgery for Lee. Praying the doctors are able to get every last bit of cancer from his body. Also praying for a smooth recovery! Stevie - Team LC
Thank you Pastor Craig for opening up and preaching about burnout. You described exactly what I have been living in for such a long time and never could define it. I'm just so fatigued all the time and wondered why I couldn't shake it. Changing my diet, exercising, journaling, and so many other things I would try to overcome it and it always came back. Every day. Which then lead me to giving up and becoming extremely apathetic towards everything and did what I needed to for survival. Thank you giving me a resource to share with others so that they can understand more clearly how I've been living for years now.
This happened to me recently. I was overwhelmed with church/town gossip, criticism, on top of my personal life. When I tried to establish boundaries that my counsellor insisted on, women in church/town (majority) have been awful. Immediately, they tried to label me as mentally ill and blame me for standing up for myself when my boundaries were disrespected. Churches need to wake up and stop putting people in charge that do not have the empathy nor compassion, respect, etc for others. When it's consistently a specific environment bringing someone down....that says a lot.
Thank you, this message was for me, I've been in burnout for over 3 years and going on vacation is like you said "adding to my stress" because getting away doesn't help when you have to face the mountain that building while you're away. Thanks again for your message, it has reassured me of what I need to do and that is "I need My batteries to be recharged"!
This message was definitely for me. I am overwhelmed at how each and every one of my broken-hearted prayers in silence were answered in this video. God listens. God is near. Thank you so much. I needed this so much. Thank you for your courage, transparency, and truth. I feel like I finally drank water after being dehydrated for so long. Thank you and May God bless you pastor and this church. May He give you rest and fill you and strengthen you to keep standing up and speaking His words. Thank you Jesus. ❤
God bless you for being sooooo transparent!! This message is for me!! I am currently in severe occupational burnout plus everyday stressed out!! I didnt even know what to call what I was going thru. And u helped me thru Jesus!! And the burnout of always having to preform my BEST, in all I do!! Being all things for all ppl for the sake of Christ. Thx u for sharing yr story bc im right there with u!! Im not alone!! Thx u Jesus for having me scroll apon this sermon!! Pls continue to do more sermons on this!! Thx u and im praying for you & everyone!! 🙏❤
Thank you so much pastor Craig. This was such an emotional message for me, i feel that God knew that i would need you through this period of my life. I thank God everyday for your life.
I have a friend who has Cptsd he lives in the U.S,,I keep praying for him although I know he dont believe in God. Thank you Pastor Craig for the inspiration message everyday.
This message is for me ! Thank You Lord ! I need to rest, I need to learn how to rest ! I need to be free from shame from what I've done wrong, and from what I've haven't done ! I need You Jesus, I want to silence the voices in my head, to hear your whispers and enjoy Your love, joy, peace, patience ....
this message was for me. I pray for wisdom, a strong mind, and a loving heart. I pray for all my family members hearts and mind. I pray for the broken hearted and those who don’t know you. I pray in the end we all end up with you.
This was for me. It goes along with our churches sermon series. You always know when the Lord is moving in your church when sermons across the country are aligned.
Pastor Craig you are describing to a T what I went through in August of last year..... even down to the two weeks span of not being able to remember anything. I'm grateful to say I am still here and doing better than ever. There is life after a meltdown.... what I find interesting is that if I had the choice, I would not change anything about this last year..... because it is the reason I'm living the life I am right now! Not perfect, but focused, determined and grateful every day the Lord reached down, pulled me out and put me on solid ground!!
Such a timely message. Thanks for sharing pastor Craig. I'll be following this sermon series from Uganda. I've led 2 prayer groups for the pay 1 year and 6 months besides being a wife, mum, business woman and life group host. The first prayer group was for our pastor who was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and after his passing we began a support group as ladies to support the wife. It's been very uplifting but yet I feel burnt out and like I have nothing more to offer. This message has surely been for me.

This message was for me. I have been feeling burned out for months but have been suppressing my feelings and needs in order to keep afloat and it has been weighing on my body physically. Needless to say, God knows exactly what I need to help me put one foot in front of the other. Great message. Will listen again!
Gonna send this to my brother. He failed in one of his exams. I think he's really burnt out. We talked about it , I think I gave him comfortable convincing words just to lift up his spirit. But I think he needs to hear this. God bless you pastor! ❣️ Thank God! ❣️🙏
You were speaking to me. I have to constantly remind myself God has already gone before me. This too shall pass, and some days, I'm just overwhelmed with emotion and feel like it's too much. Praying for all of us in this season of burnout. ❤ may there be a shift. God lead the way there!
Thank for this message!! I especially thank you for always being so honest and real. It has made it easier to not beat myself up. Instead it has helped me lean into our Lords love and comfort. It has helped me put on the Lords armor and keep going. Through Life church my path with the Lord has changed. I know the struggle doesn’t change but it changes how I handle the struggles 😊 Thank you Life church!!!
I definitely feel like this message is for me, me and my husband have been trying to conceive our first child for 7 years and I experienced a miscarriage at 6 weeks ,2 months ago. I’m beginning to feel burnt out trying to keep going. Lord help me to find rest in this time and continue to be patient. Amen 🙏🏾
I gleaned a lot from this message. Several points you made were a confirmation of what God had been saying for several months. I appreciate you and your vulnerability. Lord, I surrender and ask that you will take me deeper with this message... Thank you.
Thank you for sharing, Susan! It's so cool when God puts something on our hearts in that way. Praying that He would continue to draw you closer to Him in relationship ❤️🙏 Beth - Team LC

One question. We are told to try to live a life like God’s. God’s life was full of hardship. He was persecuted and died on the cross. So does that mean that our lives should be filled with hardship and emotional agony too . He took all that pain so we should be able to take all the pain as well. I do not feel up to all that I have been given. I keep telling him it is too much and that i need his help. How do we hear his whisper? How do I know he is with me when I feel so alone. I ask him to bring me home to him because I am overwhelmed and burned out and do not know how to handle it all and go on. Then I feel bad about that and feel that may be yet another sin.
This is a really vulnerable question and I appreciate it! Although I can not tell you 100% what God's intent was when saying this, I can tell you to the best of my knowledge. Jesus wanted us to live a life like his, meaning, being loving, caring, God-Centered. He wanted us to be people minded, selfless, and loyal. Does this mean that we are not going to come across hardships sometimes? No, not at all. You may get made fun of sometimes for believing in Christ - that is a form of persecution. The wait isn't too heavy because Jesus already carried it for us❤️ I really hope this helps. a little bit! Stevie - Team LC

Pastor Craig THANK YOU! There is such a stigma with being an “on fire for God” Christian and suffering with depression and anxiety! I am sharing all of your messages on my social media! You are making a difference for the Kingdom! 🙏🏻🙌🔥
Praise God for His goodness. I have been experiencing so much burnout and have been afraid to speak out. His gentleness and kindness is immeasurable. God bless Pastor Craig and anyone reading this. I pray that the Lord comforts you.
I watched this because I can't go on by myself. Ive been feeling isolated and I feel like I can't do anything. I lose focus and the value of what I see is fading. Im glad I saw this video and I hope soon i will find a place to share this suffering with other chirstians.
Dear life church this message impacted my current situation as a 3rd year pre med college student I felt loaded due to the demands of other people at the same time school requirements are freaking me out. honestly, this new month of the year made me afraid of petty things like my thesis paper..... but thank God that he is closer than what I imagine if he did it to Elijah he will do it again to us ,,, yes Jesus! all I need is encounter and presence from you

This was for me. I am the type of person that is a go getter and does everything to 110%. The one taking extra shifts at work doing 12 hour swing shifts, going through the home buying process, living in a loud and noisy apartment. I hit a wall this past December from burnout and completely forgot how to sleep and had a panic attack and had and still have tremendous sleep anxiety, the fear of being able to fall asleep. I am better than where I was but I used to be able to lay my head down and just sleep and now it is such a process. Leaning heavily on God is what is helping me to slowly crawl out. BUT, I am getting there by the grace of God.
Thank you for being completely transparent. The hardest thing to realize when we feel broken is we are not alone. 🙏❤ I have a wonderful church home and family, I am blessed with a wonderful husband and three adult sons and still feel completely alone and overwhelmed. I believe i was to hear your message today as I am at work trying to play catchup so i don't feel so consumed tomorrow. Your message has truly hit and made me see I need to reach out. Thank you.
Needed this! It’s busy season for me as a wedding photographer! Anxiety loves to attack me, but I need to FIX MY THOUGHTS on HIM! I’d love some prayer and encouragement! Anxiety and OCD suck!
God, I lift up this marriage. I ask that you help them both have the heart and eyes to see each other through your eyes. I pray that you work in them both, giving them a willingness to forgive and seek reconciliation. God, I ask for patience as they navigate how you will work in this marriage and choose to put you first. Protect both of them from ungodly influences that strain their marriage and their trust. Work in and through them to bless each other in this difficult time. In your name, Amen. Heather
I want to tell you Thank You for sharing this wonderful message pastor Creg. This message was for me, & I needed this too. Since last year in May until April of this year, my husband and I was stressed and burt out. We had no friends, or family to turn too. My husband gave up. We just moved to Oklahoma.

@@Ultraone06 you got this bro. Pray and read the Bible every day, only Jesus will calm your anxiety. Put it all on Him, because you can’t do it all yourself
This message is for me! In the past, i decided to stop my relationship with my ex-girlfriend, because there was a value that make me Unsuitable with her... Our relationship was already run 5 years, but i think i need to break this relationship..because, there were some spiritual factor, and parents, too..

I like her and comfort with her.. And the things that she said was make me broke again.. But, it's seems like i have to deal with myself first, try to find rest and realize that i deal with burnout and stresss.. Come to HIS presence is never been wrong.. I bring what i feel to HIM Thanks for the preach!
Hawayu Life Church *& I Say Thanks 🙏 2 Pst. Craig Groeschel 4 This Powerful, Blessful, Deep Sermon on "Beating Burnout!" Where I Have Learnt That The Three Implications of Burnout are:- 1. Physical, 2. Mental & 3. Emotional Where The Three Mistakes We Do During Burnout are:- A. We Run All In2 The Ground, B. We All Want 2 Do It All & C. We Dwell On The Negative Where We Must Trust Our Great LORD Jesus Christ On Beating Our Burnouts Where We Come All Who Labour & are Heavy Laden & He Will Give Us Rest Where We Be Still & Know That He Is God Written In Matthew 11:28 & Psalm 46:10 Where We Rest On Our Great LORD Jesus Christ & Be Still Because He Is Our Great Almighty God Where I Say That I Have Been Blessed Powerfully By This Powerful, Blessful Deep Sermon on "Beating Burnout!" By Pst. Craig Groeschel* & God Bless Yu Life Church & Pst. Craig Groeschel So Veryyyyyy, Veryyyyyy Much.🙏🙏🕊️🕊️
Loving your messages. I admire and esteem you b/c you have the courage to present 'real life issues' that you yourself have dealt with.(i,e. Getting rid of negative thoughts) I also applaud your honesty as you share and your compassion as you relay 'human-ess' - both yours & ours. It feels like you really know where we're coming from. AND in this teaching the reminders of the 'human doubts of God's prophets (Elijah) & the practical advice/comfort/directive that God gave thru His angel renewed my hope. Thanx muchly! BTW, thanx for helping me to realize that somex's rest can be cleaning b/c my mind does not have 2b engaged and there4 can rest. I just have to remember that God hates uneven balances and so I need to rest from cleaning/control too. Anyway, I always take a day to rest with God as my only companion. (one of my many blessings!) I need that!! And isn't that why God made Sabbath - to rest? Otherwise God knew that man would burn out However, I do hear you that Christian community is needed but being disabled and in church proper for 57 years has left me disillusioned.
At the gym early and was going to play my Getting Pumped music and This message showed up in my feed was definitely for me this morning. Thank you, Yeshua! Shalom!
Amen! Thank you for sharing Pastor! If you asked me to write a sermon on the experience of burnout God allowed me to go through it would sound like this. In the midst of my burnout God brought me to the ordinary, to practice coming before Him daily and laying myself at His feet. He opened my eyes to see Elijah in a new way, to not feel shame about my burnout but has used my inability for His glory now. The pain and exhaustion has been used to show others how great His comfort is. So I can look back now and thank God for my season of burnout, cause it brought me closer to Him.
Glory be to God, he is always with me. I pray that he keeps my eyes on him and not on wanting what others have but just always focus on him. I lay down my burdens and life's stressors, I give it to you and pray you refill me.
Amen David. That is such a great prayer. Surrender ourselves to God helps us see better all the blessings He has given us instead of paying attention to others
I am so grateful for this message! This is where I have been since my dad passed on Sept 9th. Amazing how the Lord works! When I visited my dad in July he told me Sept 9th, I knew that was the Lord that my dad knew when he would pass. A way to help me seek His peace knowing my dad was on the road to being fully healed, yet still difficult for my flesh to let go and accept. My husband and I were around family in MN when he passed. Definitely the Lord doing for us what we could have NEVER done for yourself. Months of making numerous trips to FL to see my dad, tired yet thankful I was able to travel so much now the chapter ends and the new book begins with a heart of gratitude that I had a dad. Life, though hasn't been easy. The things I once found joy in, I was noticing now appeared to be dissipating. What felt like no one understood was becoming too much. I wanted everyone to understand instead of telling me to just keep looking at Jesus. Obviously, I was focusing on the wrong solution and have now learned in this grief season, it's okay to not be okay. It's a season of opportunity for me to be vulnerable, to reach out and ask for help, to take a nap, to show up at LG regardless of how I feel and to literally be still during worship service on Sundays even if no one understood, God does. In the middle of this, my mom, brother and Aunt were stuck in the middle of hurricane Ian. Lord, I know I am powerless, help me and to know that's not a selfish prayer brings me great peace today to just have a glimpse of the love He has for me. His grace as greeting cards, texts, phone calls and hugs in person continued to flow in, I became overwhelmed at the new deeper depth of His love for me. Thank you so much for this message on stress/burnout. What hope it brought to me to know I am normal beyond the settings of a washer. I have choices in this quiet season and I don't have to be the task master. The world will keep moving. I have been able to share this message with other females as a ray of how in their lives, too. I have regained some strength and now ask God what next and do what He wants instead of what I wish I could do knowing He is making me new. As my husband and I prepare to leave, again to attend my dad's celebration of life on October 16th, I don't just have great hope, I can now love others more and see their hearts too!
Wow E Browne thanks for sharing this with us. The Lord works on ways we never think of. That is great to be thankful for having been able to visit your dad until the end. God bless you and you family. I'm sure God is helping you starting the new book as He helped you close the previous chapter. I loved that metsphor
This message is for me. Thank you for you work, I enjoy listening to your messages. I have learned a lot from you and I am currently in Pastoral School hoping to learn more about God every day.
This message has me written with my name and life written All over it. Thank you for your transparency and the word of Life spoken to me thru this message.
When you’re stressed or close to burnout, are you most likely to run yourself into the ground, try to do it all on your own, or dwell on the negative?
Yes

So sorry for your problems. I pray things get better! There's a lot about suffering in the Bible, but we seldom hear THAT preached 🤔

I have a friend who has Cptsd he lives in the U.S,,I keep praying for him although I know he dont believe in God.
Thank you Pastor Craig for the inspiration message everyday.
This message is for me ! Thank You Lord ! I need to rest, I need to learn how to rest ! I need to be free from shame from what I've done wrong, and from what I've haven't done ! I need You Jesus, I want to silence the voices in my head, to hear your whispers and enjoy Your love, joy, peace, patience ....
This was for me. I’m so mentally exhausted. 25 with a wife and two kids and it’s just so hard to feel happy deep inside

This was for me. It goes along with our churches sermon series. You always know when the Lord is moving in your church when sermons across the country are aligned.
Amen! This was such an impactful series for so many that we don't even know!

Pastor Craig you are describing to a T what I went through in August of last year..... even down to the two weeks span of not being able to remember anything. I'm grateful to say I am still here and doing better than ever. There is life after a meltdown.... what I find interesting is that if I had the choice, I would not change anything about this last year..... because it is the reason I'm living the life I am right now! Not perfect, but focused, determined and grateful every day the Lord reached down, pulled me out and put me on solid ground!!
Such a timely message. Thanks for sharing pastor Craig. I'll be following this sermon series from Uganda. I've led 2 prayer groups for the pay 1 year and 6 months besides being a wife, mum, business woman and life group host. The first prayer group was for our pastor who was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and after his passing we began a support group as ladies to support the wife. It's been very uplifting but yet I feel burnt out and like I have nothing more to offer. This message has surely been for me.
❤️ I am so happy that God showed his faithfulness to you through this message🙏

This message was for me. I have been feeling burned out for months but have been suppressing my feelings and needs in order to keep afloat and it has been weighing on my body physically. Needless to say, God knows exactly what I need to help me put one foot in front of the other. Great message. Will listen again!
The message is for me... Thank You Pastor Craig...
❤️
This message is for me. Thank you Jesus.
🙌
This entire series! Thank you!
Gonna send this to my brother. He failed in one of his exams. I think he's really burnt out. We talked about it , I think I gave him comfortable convincing words just to lift up his spirit. But I think he needs to hear this. God bless you pastor! ❣️ Thank God! ❣️🙏
💛
This is exactly what l needed. Thank you for allowing God to use you Pastor Craig!!
You were speaking to me. I have to constantly remind myself God has already gone before me. This too shall pass, and some days, I'm just overwhelmed with emotion and feel like it's too much. Praying for all of us in this season of burnout. ❤ may there be a shift. God lead the way there!
🙏❤️
Thank for this message!! I especially thank you for always being so honest and real. It has made it easier to not beat myself up. Instead it has helped me lean into our Lords love and comfort. It has helped me put on the Lords armor and keep going. Through Life church my path with the Lord has changed. I know the struggle doesn’t change but it changes how I handle the struggles 😊
Thank you Life church!!!

I definitely feel like this message is for me, me and my husband have been trying to conceive our first child for 7 years and I experienced a miscarriage at 6 weeks ,2 months ago. I’m beginning to feel burnt out trying to keep going. Lord help me to find rest in this time and continue to be patient. Amen 🙏🏾
Praying for you and with you.
Amen
I gleaned a lot from this message. Several points you made were a confirmation of what God had been saying for several months. I appreciate you and your vulnerability.
Lord, I surrender and ask that you will take me deeper with this message... Thank you.
Thank you for sharing, Susan! It's so cool when God puts something on our hearts in that way. Praying that He would continue to draw you closer to Him in relationship ❤️🙏

”Whoever finds God, finds life!”
This message is for me. Thank you God for this message. So many are in need of this!
This message is for me!
❤️
Thru the Power of Jesus you've touched my soul....I surrender all to His power & am praying for Purpose in my life again....thank you!!!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
One question. We are told to try to live a life like God’s. God’s life was full of hardship. He was persecuted and died on the cross. So does that mean that our lives should be filled with hardship and emotional agony too . He took all that pain so we should be able to take all the pain as well. I do not feel up to all that I have been given. I keep telling him it is too much and that i need his help. How do we hear his whisper? How do I know he is with me when I feel so alone. I ask him to bring me home to him because I am overwhelmed and burned out and do not know how to handle it all and go on. Then I feel bad about that and feel that may be yet another sin.
This is a really vulnerable question and I appreciate it!
Although I can not tell you 100% what God's intent was when saying this, I can tell you to the best of my knowledge. Jesus wanted us to live a life like his, meaning, being loving, caring, God-Centered. He wanted us to be people minded, selfless, and loyal. Does this mean that we are not going to come across hardships sometimes? No, not at all. You may get made fun of sometimes for believing in Christ - that is a form of persecution. The wait isn't too heavy because Jesus already carried it for us❤️ I really hope this helps. a little bit!

Pastor Craig THANK YOU! There is such a stigma with being an “on fire for God” Christian and suffering with depression and anxiety! I am sharing all of your messages on my social media! You are making a difference for the Kingdom! 🙏🏻🙌🔥
Praise God for His goodness. I have been experiencing so much burnout and have been afraid to speak out. His gentleness and kindness is immeasurable. God bless Pastor Craig and anyone reading this. I pray that the Lord comforts you.
Amen! Praying God continues to speak to you through his gentleness and kindness. ❤️

I watched this because I can't go on by myself. Ive been feeling isolated and I feel like I can't do anything. I lose focus and the value of what I see is fading. Im glad I saw this video and I hope soon i will find a place to share this suffering with other chirstians.
This message is for me! Thank You Jesus! Thank you Pastor Craig!

Jesus Take My Life! Thank you Lord!
This message was for me. Thank you Jesus! ❤
I’ve heard it a “ few times”, why are you so hard on yourself? Give yourself grace”, now I truly hear it, amen , amen, it’s a lifesaver.
Dear life church this message impacted my current situation as a 3rd year pre med college student I felt loaded due to the demands of other people at the same time school requirements are freaking me out. honestly, this new month of the year made me afraid of petty things like my thesis paper..... but thank God that he is closer than what I imagine if he did it to Elijah he will do it again to us ,,, yes Jesus! all I need is encounter and presence from you

This was for me. I am the type of person that is a go getter and does everything to 110%. The one taking extra shifts at work doing 12 hour swing shifts, going through the home buying process, living in a loud and noisy apartment. I hit a wall this past December from burnout and completely forgot how to sleep and had a panic attack and had and still have tremendous sleep anxiety, the fear of being able to fall asleep. I am better than where I was but I used to be able to lay my head down and just sleep and now it is such a process. Leaning heavily on God is what is helping me to slowly crawl out. BUT, I am getting there by the grace of God.
Thank you for being completely transparent. The hardest thing to realize when we feel broken is we are not alone. 🙏❤ I have a wonderful church home and family, I am blessed with a wonderful husband and three adult sons and still feel completely alone and overwhelmed. I believe i was to hear your message today as I am at work trying to play catchup so i don't feel so consumed tomorrow. Your message has truly hit and made me see I need to reach out. Thank you.
Needed this! It’s busy season for me as a wedding photographer! Anxiety loves to attack me, but I need to FIX MY THOUGHTS on HIM! I’d love some prayer and encouragement! Anxiety and OCD suck!
This…for my husband and I…just wow! The burnout struggle real! Pray for us! 🙏🏻
God, I lift up this marriage. I ask that you help them both have the heart and eyes to see each other through your eyes. I pray that you work in them both, giving them a willingness to forgive and seek reconciliation. God, I ask for patience as they navigate how you will work in this marriage and choose to put you first. Protect both of them from ungodly influences that strain their marriage and their trust. Work in and through them to bless each other in this difficult time. In your name, Amen.
Heather
This message is for me. I'll take prayer from anyone who would offer it. Thank you
I want to tell you Thank You for sharing this wonderful message pastor Creg. This message was for me, & I needed this too. Since last year in May until April of this year, my husband and I was stressed and burt out. We had no friends, or family to turn too. My husband gave up. We just moved to Oklahoma.

In the past, i decided to stop my relationship with my ex-girlfriend, because there was a value that make me Unsuitable with her... Our relationship was already run 5 years, but i think i need to break this relationship..because, there were some spiritual factor, and parents, too..
It breaks my heart, and in the nearly time(1 month from that time) .. I meet someone who makes me comfort and drawn me into the relationship with God!
So i tell her, that i want to know her more... I like her and comfort with her..
And the things that she said was make me broke again.. But, it's seems like i have to deal with myself first, try to find rest and realize that i deal with burnout and stresss..
Come to HIS presence is never been wrong..
I bring what i feel to HIM
Thanks for the preach!

Hawayu Life Church *& I Say Thanks 🙏 2 Pst. Craig Groeschel 4 This Powerful, Blessful, Deep Sermon on "Beating Burnout!" Where I Have Learnt That The Three Implications of Burnout are:- 1. Physical, 2. Mental & 3. Emotional Where The Three Mistakes We Do During Burnout are:- A. We Run All In2 The Ground, B. We All Want 2 Do It All & C. We Dwell On The Negative Where We Must Trust Our Great LORD Jesus Christ On Beating Our Burnouts Where We Come All Who Labour & are Heavy Laden & He Will Give Us Rest Where We Be Still & Know That He Is God Written In Matthew 11:28 & Psalm 46:10 Where We Rest On Our Great LORD Jesus Christ & Be Still Because He Is Our Great Almighty God Where I Say That I Have Been Blessed Powerfully By This Powerful, Blessful Deep Sermon on "Beating Burnout!" By Pst. Craig Groeschel* & God Bless Yu Life Church & Pst. Craig Groeschel So Veryyyyyy, Veryyyyyy Much.🙏🙏🕊️🕊️
This message is definitely for me. Thank you Lord for leading me to this message
This message is for me. Thank You Saviour for calling me
💛
I remember praying the same prayer Elijah prayed in verse 4. This message has really blessed me today. Thank you Jesus
🙏
Yes A fresh touch and encounter with Gods Presence 🙌🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾
Thank you Jesus for this message❤️
Thank you so much I needed this message you preached some of situations!!❤
Loving your messages. I admire and esteem you b/c you have the courage to present 'real life issues' that you yourself have dealt with.(i,e. Getting rid of negative thoughts) I also applaud your honesty as you share and your compassion as you relay 'human-ess' - both yours & ours. It feels like you really know where we're coming from.
AND in this teaching the reminders of the 'human doubts of God's prophets (Elijah) & the practical advice/comfort/directive that God gave thru His angel renewed my hope. Thanx muchly!
BTW, thanx for helping me to realize that somex's rest can be cleaning b/c my mind does not have 2b engaged and there4 can rest. I just have to remember that God hates uneven balances and so I need to rest from cleaning/control too. Anyway, I always take a day to rest with God as my only companion. (one of my many blessings!) I need that!! And isn't that why God made Sabbath - to rest? Otherwise God knew that man would burn out However, I do hear you that Christian community is needed but being disabled and in church proper for 57 years has left me disillusioned.
At the gym early and was going to play my Getting Pumped music and This message showed up in my feed was definitely for me this morning. Thank you, Yeshua! Shalom!
Amen! Thank you for sharing Pastor!
If you asked me to write a sermon on the experience of burnout God allowed me to go through it would sound like this. In the midst of my burnout God brought me to the ordinary, to practice coming before Him daily and laying myself at His feet. He opened my eyes to see Elijah in a new way, to not feel shame about my burnout but has used my inability for His glory now. The pain and exhaustion has been used to show others how great His comfort is. So I can look back now and thank God for my season of burnout, cause it brought me closer to Him.
❤️🙌
Thank you, Lindsay, for sharing that!
Praising our Mighty God!!

“Whoever finds God, finds life!”
Glory be to God, he is always with me. I pray that he keeps my eyes on him and not on wanting what others have but just always focus on him. I lay down my burdens and life's stressors, I give it to you and pray you refill me.
Amen David. That is such a great prayer. Surrender ourselves to God helps us see better all the blessings He has given us instead of paying attention to others
I needed this for the last four years. God's timing though...
I really need this , I lived another side of the world. Thank you Life Church staff and paster let me know and learn. THANK YOU
I am so grateful for this message! This is where I have been since my dad passed on Sept 9th. Amazing how the Lord works!
When I visited my dad in July he told me Sept 9th, I knew that was the Lord that my dad knew when he would pass.
A way to help me seek His peace knowing my dad was on the road to being fully healed, yet still difficult for my flesh to let go and accept.
My husband and I were around family in MN when he passed. Definitely the Lord doing for us what we could have NEVER done for yourself.
Months of making numerous trips to FL to see my dad, tired yet thankful I was able to travel so much now the chapter ends and the new book begins with a heart of gratitude that I had a dad.
Life, though hasn't been easy. The things I once found joy in, I was noticing now appeared to be dissipating. What felt like no one understood was becoming too much. I wanted everyone to understand instead of telling me to just keep looking at Jesus.
Obviously, I was focusing on the wrong solution and have now learned in this grief season, it's okay to not be okay. It's a season of opportunity for me to be vulnerable, to reach out and ask for help, to take a nap, to show up at LG regardless of how I feel and to literally be still during worship service on Sundays even if no one understood, God does.
In the middle of this, my mom, brother and Aunt were stuck in the middle of hurricane Ian.
Lord, I know I am powerless, help me and to know that's not a selfish prayer brings me great peace today to just have a glimpse of the love He has for me.
His grace as greeting cards, texts, phone calls and hugs in person continued to flow in, I became overwhelmed at the new deeper depth of His love for me.
Thank you so much for this message on stress/burnout. What hope it brought to me to know I am normal beyond the settings of a washer. I have choices in this quiet season and I don't have to be the task master. The world will keep moving.
I have been able to share this message with other females as a ray of how in their lives, too.
I have regained some strength and now ask God what next and do what He wants instead of what I wish I could do knowing He is making me new.
As my husband and I prepare to leave, again to attend my dad's celebration of life on October 16th, I don't just have great hope, I can now love others more and see their hearts too!
Wow E Browne thanks for sharing this with us. The Lord works on ways we never think of. That is great to be thankful for having been able to visit your dad until the end. God bless you and you family. I'm sure God is helping you starting the new book as He helped you close the previous chapter. I loved that metsphor
This message is for me. Thank you for you work, I enjoy listening to your messages. I have learned a lot from you and I am currently in Pastoral School hoping to learn more about God every day.
🙌🙂That great news, that you're attending Pastoral School and growing closer with him. -Matthew
This message has me written with my name and life written
All over it. Thank you for your transparency and the word of Life spoken to me thru this message.
