Think About It

  1. Watch the video above and then identify areas in your life where you experience burnout, maybe it's your job, finances, parenting, your health.

  3. Create space in your schedule to turn to God and seek His next steps for your life. Try starting with this prayer:

Lord, I feel burned out. Help me to release my burdens to You & receive Your gift of rest.
