What’s Draining Your Battery?

 

 

Scripture:

 

“Don’t worry about your life—what you will eat or drink; or about your body—what you will wear… Look at the birds flying about! They neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you worth more than they are?”

— Mattityahu (Matthew) 6:25–26, CJB

 

 

Reflection:

 

So many times we wake up already tired—exhausted, unmotivated, heavy. We don’t even want to get out of bed, and sometimes we don’t know why. As the day goes on, the weight follows us. We don’t want to work. We don’t want to engage. And we find ourselves asking, What is wrong with me?

 

Naturally, we want to fix it—the anxiety, the stress, the worry. But that’s often the very thing draining our battery: trying to carry what God never asked us to carry.

 

I ask people all the time, Do you trust God?

Most say yes.

Then I ask, So why do you worry?

 

We call worry “natural,” but Scripture says otherwise. God never designed us to live weighed down by tomorrow. Even the birds don’t worry about their next meal. They simply trust that provision will come—and it does.

 

 

Encouragement:

 

So ask yourself today: What’s draining your battery?

Is it worry? Fear? Trying to fix everything on your own? Even caring for others without resting in God?

 

Here’s the truth:

God the Father, Jesus Christ—Yeshua the Messiah—and the Holy Spirit are the chargers.

They restore what’s depleted. They strengthen what’s weak.

 

Turn to Him when your battery is low.

Turn to Him when your battery is full.

Just keep turning to Him.
