We must be consistently constant in guarding our hearts, attending to His Word, and not become weary in well doing.
Weariness is one of the issues that we all face from time to time. Weariness can be a major hindrance in our lives. We must guard our hearts against weariness.
The Word has a lot to say about becoming weary and fainting and how to overcome and prevent it.
Weariness effects our prayer life, our faith, our strength, our peace, our rest, our relationships, and even our health.
There is a difference between being tired and weariness. Being tired is normally due to physical exertion like working hard. Being tired is normally physical. Weariness is normally mental or spiritual. Stress, worry, and fear lead to weariness which can become depression.
However, being physically tired all the time can lead to stress, worry, and fear then become weariness if we allow it to take place.
Most of us focus so much on the problems and issues of life that it leads us into stress, worry, and fear. We can then become depressed and lose heart. We are focusing on the wrong things.
Weariness is a major weapon of the enemy. If we allow it to operate in our lives satan will be able to use it against us. We must guard our hearts against weariness.
What we focus and meditate on is what we will become. We have the right and power to choose and change what we focus and meditate on.
Luke 18: 1 ALSO [Jesus] told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not to turn coward (faint, lose heart, and give up). (Amplified Classic)
Prayer and Worship that is based on God’s Living Word will help position us to focus on the right things. Prayer and Worship will help to strengthen us to the place where we will not faint, lose heart, and give up.
Philippians 4: 6 – 7 Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God. (7) And God’s peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. (Amplified Classic)
