allisonbrett -> RE: PRAYER FOR THE WEARY OF HEART (6/11/2008 11:40:18 AM)

I just found this thread. I had actually written a post yesterday about being so weary of struggles and even of praying but I just never posted it. It seemed too depressing to even share. This thread is such a blessing, you have no idea how much I have needed just these prayers. Like so many others these days I continue to grow more and more weary that I can hardly find the energy to even care anymore. This is something rare for me too. My husband and I own our own business. We have so many business friends that we want so much to be a blessing to that we just can't. Friend after friend are closing their businesses, some have been in business a lifetime and have enjoyed extreme success and yet are going under. Some have faith, others do not. We have witnessed to those without faith and encouraged those with faith. But like so many, our business is on the brink of closing too. We've struggled for the past 2 1/2 years and I'm just tired. We have no money to pay our overhead, our bills and commitments or even pay ourselves. Don't get me wrong, we are so thankful that the Lord has blessed us time after time in the past years but the struggle continues to wear us down. Each day we pray, we praise, we have thankful hearts, we try to be a blessing to any one we can but we still fight to maintain that important spirit of hope, of trust and of peace. I guess we have become just too weary to continue the fight. We continue to encourage, pray for and lift up others to our Lord for His blessings but have run out of steam for even ourselves. We don't want to bad mouth and appear to be without hope but our cheerful hearts are no longer cheerful. Please continue to pray for all of us who are weary. I thank you all for your prayers on our behalf. In the words of Tiny Tim, "God bless us, everyone!" Allison.
