It is easy getting caught up in service for the Lord. Many do not realize it when they set out to work for Him. In whatever capacity that they choose or feel led to, they begin with eagerness. They feel spring-loaded and vault themselves into it.

Sincerity is always in most cases the very real impetus that keeps us going when it starts to become laborious. In that sincerity of heart we keep adding on more and more duties. It is all well-meaning.

Take prayer for instance. Prayer is always first and foremost. Many start out praying for a couple of people, then more are added which seems fine. Then more people and their circumstances, their battles, and their needing of miracles are requested. Who can so no? Then guiltiness overtakes.

The increase of weight rapidly kills off the spiritual flow in the personal life between that laborer and their Lord. Now all it is is heavy lifting with a weakening soul and heart. This is not what the Lord desires of His people ever.

Working for the Lord in many cases is never what He has asked you to do. Have you ever considered rolling all of it off of you and onto Him then trusting Him with it? Then come empty of all of your own ways of doing things and asking Him what He wants you to pray or to do.

If you are wearing out from work and service, then it is good to consider doing this. Then let yourself become a river bed of His love and life that will flow out of you the way He wants. Joy will enter in.

"Fear arises when we imagine that everything depends on us." ~ Elisabeth Elliot
