There are seasons when you feel completely spent—yet life still demands more. The devotional opens in that familiar space: deadlines piling up, responsibilities pressing in, and exhaustion that doesn’t pause just because you need rest. The author describes hitting the wall after a full summer of parenting and work demands, realizing that even with the desire to recover, life sometimes doesn’t offer the extra cushion of time or energy we wish we had. When you’re depleted, determination can feel like it’s run out—and yet you still need strength to keep going.
