If you have been involved in ongoing emotional struggles, you are likely feeling drained and tired. Emotional strain does that to us. We feel weary of the struggle. In Scripture we read about the prophet Elijah and his emotional and physical exhaustion, in spite of the fact that he was a man of faith (I Kings 19). If you are in the midst of any emotional challenge, make sure you are taking care of yourself. Care for yourself nutritionally, get plenty of rest and be sure to exercise. While this won’t solve your emotional problems, it will give you greater strength to deal with them effectively. Are you taking care of yourself?
