25-179 Clinging to God When You’re Weary

Spiritual weariness doesn’t always announce itself with a crash—it often creeps in like a slow leak. You still go through the motions. You still show up. But deep inside, you’re drained. You’ve prayed, fasted, fought, believed… and now you’re just tired. And the temptation to let go feels stronger than ever.

Our springboard for today’s discussion is:“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” — Galatians 6:9 (ESV)

God never denied that weariness would come. In fact, Paul’s words here acknowledge the very real weight of doing good in a broken world. But the promise is powerful: if you don’t give up… you will reap.

That’s not hype. That’s harvest. God sees what you’ve planted in prayer. He sees what you’ve carried in silence. He sees every tear, every late-night intercession, every quiet act of obedience. And He’s not ignoring it. He’s growing something underneath the surface that you can’t yet see.

But in seasons of exhaustion, you don’t need to “do more”—you need to hold tighter. Not to your own strength. Not to your routines. To Him.

Sometimes, clinging to God looks like resting in His Word when you can’t feel His presence. Sometimes, it looks like crying out instead of shutting down. Sometimes, it looks like letting others carry you for a while.

You’re not weak for being weary. You’re human. And the Father knows your frame. He’s not waiting for you to impress Him—He’s asking you to lean on Him.

So today, take one more step. Not because you feel strong, but because He is. And because in due season… you will reap.

Question of the Day:What part of your life feels the heaviest right now—and how can you cling tighter to God instead of letting go?

Mini Call to Action:Take five minutes today to speak Galatians 6:9 over your weary heart. Then text or call someone to pray with you. Don’t carry it alone.

Let’s Pray:Lord, I’m tired. But I’m not giving up. Help me to hold on when everything tells me to let go. Breathe new strength into me. Help me trust the harvest that I can’t yet see. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Let’s Get To Work!Weariness may come—but so will the harvest, if you don’t quit.
