    God has been speaking the same thing to me recently , that is so interesting. I have children that are getting older , 11 years and 8 years , and this world is just such a worrisome place to raise children, and it has caused me enormous stress their entire lives trying to protect them and keep their innocence and goodness. But recently , God has really been showing me that He is in Control. It is my job to Pray for them and over them & Guide them in Truth, but that I need to have Faith in who He is , and the Control that He has. It was a freeing revelation, and seems we got the same message. God is So Good🙏

    Sarah, this video is SO incredibly timely for me. I have been sick for the last year and a half. I was mostly bed-ridden last year and am just now seeing progress in my health with working with a naturopath.
    One of the things I dealt with was MAJOR adrenal fatigue. It is SO real. One of my friend’s moms suggested this natural supplement to me that helps with heightened cortisol levels (the stress hormone) and I just take one pill every night before bed and WOW, it has made SUCH a difference! It was one of the biggest things that got me out of bed again! It’s 100% natural and you could totally run it by your naturopath, but I just had to share it with you because I really think it would help! It’s called Cortisol Manager by the brand Integrative Therapeutics.
    Anyways, thank you so much for making this video. It made me feel less alone and I can COMPLETELY relate to everything you’re feeling and processing through. Praying for divine health over you!

    Sarah, don’t worry about being human and having human needs, emotions and daily circumstances to deal with. We don’t have to be super spiritual, and you don’t have to have such high expectations of yourself. We love you as you are, and you know what I did yesterday? I went back to bed and stay there until two in the afternoon! LOL
    I didn’t care what anybody thought, and I knew that Jesus was helping me to get through what was a very difficult day.
    Take time off if you need to, because burnout is not good. And we need to be healthy in spirit, soul, and body.
    God bless
    I love your honesty and vulnerability, it’s very refreshing and will help many. 🤗❤️

    Dear Sara, what you are going through is a normal path and belongs to life experience. I was just like you, try to please everybody and that bothered me so much. My problem was that I often felt sorry for others and tried to solve their problems, and I put myself on hold. But then I didn't live my life, but passively waited if someone needed me. One day a female acquaintance contacted me saying she wanted to have coffee with me. I never liked her as a person, but I always felt sorry for her because no one wanted to hang out with her because of her asociality and strangeness. Keeping in mind that I'm a Christian and I don't want to reject people just like that, I met her a couple of times and at the same time I prayed to God to show me the way whether I should continue to hang out with her. The first couple of coffees were ok. After that she started using me in terms of my time. Coffee with me wasn't enough for her, but she always asked me for some favor that she could have done herself if she wanted to. The icing on the cake happened when I agreed to meet her just because I promised her and I didn't feel good. That was a good lesson for me because then the person in question stayed somewhere and left me waiting. When you don't feel well, it's usually intuition that warns us of danger. I didn't actually know that acquaintance, and I gave her the epithets of a good person and a victim. And she is actually a totally different person. First we need to meet someone, and then decide if we will give her our precious time. Hold on! God bless you :)

    Sarah, thank you so much for sharing this. This is so encouraging, because I am someone who gets sick often, and recently have been feeling ill for almost three weeks, with body aches, fatigue and a fever. It's a non-diagnosable condition for right now, but I want to believe sincerely that the Lord is using this. But I do pray for God's healing (please pray for me if you read this!). Will be praying for you too, but grateful you can see, Sarah, that He uses all things for the good.

    Sarah, I've really been enjoying listening to your thoughts and your videos. Almost 50 now and I have started waking up the same time in the middle of night due to hormonal changes. I've been using that time to pray over things that concern me in the world, which has been nice, because I tend to be too occupied throughout the day to remember to pray. I'm sorry to hear you're struggling but I can tell you have a strong faith and understanding God has His purposes for everything. ♥

    Dear Sarah, I started following your channel because we were very alike in that one particular time of my life. And the things you described in this video are exactly the things I was going through last year at this time. I couldt stop doing! I forgot how to just be! It is a process that gets better with time and a lot of that time I was spending with God. He was there for me every day, whenever I needed Him and each day I felt more and more closer to Him because of it. Now I am in this phase of my life where I am very content with little that I do in a day, I am not judging myself for it and I am actually very grateful for that I was going through last year at this time. Often I think about that time today and I am so amazed by the grace that God has given me since then. God uses those times to build a stronger relationship with us. At first I didnt want to "bother" God and always tried to do it myself. But as time went on, I couldnt hold the smallest things in order without His help. He was so patient with me through that time and waited and waited till I finally realised that I NEED Him. We cant do things wihout him. I am also ambitious as you are, but I realised that if I am being ambitious without giving Him glory for it, I am not doing myself a favour. Sooner or later I will fall hard if I am trying to do it all alone. Now when I am in those times, I am not sad or irritated as I used to be. Now I know, God is doing His part. I am probably doing something wrong and He is trying to show His glory through me. In those times I always repeat 2 Cor 12:10 to myself: "Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, and difficulties for Christ; for when I might be weak, then I am strong." And it works. As I give the wheel to my Creator and Savior, I am safe. I will pray for your healing with the Lord and I know you will soon be even stronger than you used to be! xx

    I totally understand this. The Lord has been speaking this to me for a long time and I found it so difficult to take the rest and say 'no' to things. When covid hit, part of me was relieved that a whole lot of things got cancelled but then the pandemic brought other stresses which affected my sleep. I also found I was getting really sick every couple of weeks, flu like viruses and having listened to your video it seems that this was my body's response to burnout too. I'm trying to now live a life with clearer boundaries and more rest/downtime and also trust the Lord more. Thanks for sharing your journey and I pray God will continue to heal and restore you.

    Hey, so sorry to hear that🥺🥺🥺Burnout is very hard thing. Experienced that last year in September, was anxious all the time, health problems started and the worst I didn’t understand the reason and pushed even harder. It took several months of not working at all and in very relaxed mode to recover but it was soo worth it. I reevaluated all things that I put on pedestal instead of God, made so many things I made idols of. Sometimes we run and don’t notice there are more important things - like God, health, peace. Wish you to recover🙏💙

    Try cutting down on caffeine especially on coffee.
    It burns out your adrenals in the long run, it also releases your insuline and cortisol which puts you in the fight or flight mode.
    Try green tea instead.
    I noticed when I get off coffee and switch to green tea I feel much better, less anxiety and less intrusive thoughts.

    Hi Sarah I understand so much of this video.
    I have lived with m.e and fibromyalgia for many years.
    I have written a book which is my autobiography and testimony in poetry.
    And I had to stop chasing perfection
    This was hard as I liked things just so
    But I'd have to make some drastic changes
    And would have to learn how to let go
    Or perhaps, it's approval addiction
    It's not easy for you to say no
    But with this unhealthy need for affirmation
    People pleasing, you'll have to let go
    Keeping you in my prayers
    🙏

I have experienced these conditions on and off for more than 24 years and it had a huge impact on my life with work and Ministry. I am learning to pace myself and understand what it is to walk by the spirit and not do more than God has called me to do. God is beginning to heal me after 24 years of struggle.

    I also struggle with the people pleasing. I struggle when people are unreliable and it has happened a lot in my life, not because they could not but because they just chose not to and I grew up not wanting to be that person. I am also the same that when it comes to being tired or burned out I then feel like I have to go because I am choosing not too be there. I neglect myself and my health over not wanting to be seen as unreliable. Since the times I have chosen not to go I stopped getting invited. It’s a process but I thought I was the only one who struggled with that. Definitely a hard one 🥺😭. I want to share and be there but I know that if I am not physically, emotionally and spiritually well it will not be intentional and I will just be physically there but not actually present. It’s just hard for people to see that since I am the “life of the party”. The Lord is teaching me how to take care of myself this season and I didn’t know how much I people pleased and neglected myself for others. I always ended up tired and exhausted and burned out and regretting going. I didn’t want to disappoint others because I hate it when I do and then I realized disappointing myself hurts and feels worse. Not only when you promise yourself something and don’t do it but when you realize you have a choice and can choose to choose yourself over others. Most importantly when you choose him, how he sees and how much he cares for you him over the what others think and how they see you. Life changing.

    I've been struggling with burnout (getting there anyway) and God showed me through my Christian family that it was because I was trying to make ministry without God guiding me into what to do. I relied on my plans and strength to obey what God had told me to do. I'd encourage you to maybe check this - and check with the Lord about the fact that the fatigue might be a spiritual thing happening? :)
