Last night on our "Keeping It Real" Session hosted by Prophetess Genesis Turner of Hurting Women's Ministry and myself (co-host), we discussed the topic of being tired. The women were posed with a statement in which they were to fill in the blank. It goes like this "I am just so tired of __________"!
Many of the fill-in words were as follows:
Now this is where I want to bring your attention to: YOUR WORDS!
Many of the fill-in words were as follows:
- being cheated on
- being alone (single)
- giving and not receiving
- fake religion
- church
- waiting for a husband
- forgiving
- struggling financially
- pretending
- failing
- not feeling loved
The list went on. How many of you can identify with any of these? I'm sure some of you do and probably have a few more to add.
Another issue we are tired of is WAITING! Yes we grow weary of waiting for a breakthrough, waiting for the restoration of our marriages, waiting for a husband, waiting to be blessed, waiting for change in our churches, waiting for healing, waiting for promotion, waiting for deliverance, waiting for our season! Only you know what you yourself are waiting for as well.
The word of God says "And let us not get tired of doing what is right, for after a while we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't get discouraged and give up." ~ Galatians 6:9 TLB
We clearly know where our help comes from because we bombard heaven with our cries! Right? Therefore, in doing so we are saying to God "our hope is in You, we trust and believe that You will have favor upon us and release what we stand in needing."
Now this is where I want to bring your attention to: YOUR WORDS!
We all know that the bible says in Proverbs 18:21 "death and life are in the power of the tongue and those who love it will eat its fruit."
In that place of being "tired"and/or "waiting" we have a tendency to complain which is sin and it shows an attitude that you are ungrateful and bitter which can lead to disobedience.
