We all get hit at times with the “tireds.” Tired of school, ministry, parenting, people — tired of everything. Sometimes rest just doesn’t come when we need it; often, a night’s sleep won’t cure what ails us. What we need is prayer — fervent prayer — our best offense and defense during every season of life.People can get dicey, even snarky when they’re tired. As Christians, that smacks of disobedience because:1. We are commanded to rest (Exodus 20:8-10)2. We are to treat others as more significant than ourselves (Philippians 2:3)3. We are to do to others as we wish they would do to us (Matthew 7:12).While fatigue is not our preference, our circumstances can lead to this unwanted affliction.Following are 12 prayers for those of you dealing with personal weariness, along with twelve corresponding prayers to offer on a weary person’s behalf, and Scripture to pray back to God.Photo credit: ©Getty Images/kaipong
