How Are You Feeling+FollowTo anyone who feels emotionally exhausted by prayer I didn’t stop praying. I just stopped expecting anything to change. That’s when I finally understood biblical lament. In Hebrew, lament is not emotional release. It is structured persistence. Many laments repeat the same complaints, almost word for word. Not because the writer lacks faith—but because nothing has shifted yet. The Bible keeps those prayers. It doesn’t edit them for optimism. If prayer feels repetitive, heavy, or empty right now, Scripture suggests this: you may not be spiritually cold. You may be enduring longer than you ever expected to. #PrayerFatigue #BiblicalLament #SpiritualEndurance #FaithAndEmotion #ChristianDepth141Share
How Are You Feeling+FollowTo anyone who feels tired of waiting Waiting didn’t make me patient. It made me bitter. Then I read about Simeon. The Greek says he was prosdechomenos—actively waiting. Not passive. Not calm. Waiting with longing that never shut down. Scripture never romanticizes waiting. It treats it as work. Emotional labor. Spiritual endurance. If waiting has worn you down, you’re not doing it wrong. You’re doing the hardest kind of faith there is. #WaitingOnGod #SpiritualEndurance #Simeon #FaithInAging #BiblicalHope324Share
