Burn Out?
Anyone ever suffer from spiritual ministry burnout? There comes a point when all of your spiritual fruit gets plucked and a respite is needed to just be alone and do nothing. No obligations, no necessities, no plans...no nothing. Living and working at a ministry is rough on one's mind, will, and emotions as well as one's spirit. A rejuvenation period is mandatory at least once every 6 months or the privilege of serving the Lord Jesus comes to seem like a chore. Especially when it seems like everyone is getting helped but you. It's not necessarily akin to the gall of bitterness but more along the lines of "Can't I get a breath here?" I thank the Lord for choosing me to serve Him and Jesus is the reason for every season but even He went to the mountain occasionally.
