In march this year I hit that wall and got burned-out. Thanks for this message, I’m still recovering and need Gods presence, that whisper, every day of my life.
Christiaan, So glad that this message spoke to you. Praying for God to continually be present in your life and to be that voice for you in everyday life. Laura - Team LC
This is helping so much. My wife was diagnosed with cancer. I was diagnosed with diabetes. And then I lost my job and need to continue being a part time pastor. Sometimes, life is hard! But God is still God.
Tears falling 😢……. Praise God for leading me to this message tonight. Thank you for being humble, open and transparent obedient servant of Yahweh! I will play this over again. ❤
At home now feeling paralyzed from cognitive declined due to burnout. Your message is so timely. Thank God for your honesty and for his encouragement through you in such a time as this. Thank you Lord
Burnout is what happens when you try to avoid being human for too long. Self-care is giving yourself permission to pause. I pray that God restores anyone who’s experiencing burnout and gives us strength. Thank you Pastor Craig. Needed this ❤
This is the message I needed. Juggling work, coaching, and home. Last four years I was stress, burnout, most of all emotional break down. Thank you lord, thank you for leading me to this message.
Thank you Pastor Craig for opening up and preaching about burnout. You described exactly what I have been living in for such a long time and never could define it. I'm just so fatigued all the time and wondered why I couldn't shake it. Changing my diet, exercising, journaling, and so many other things I would try to overcome it and it always came back. Every day. Which then lead me to giving up and becoming extremely apathetic towards everything and did what I needed to for survival. Thank you giving me a resource to share with others so that they can understand more clearly how I've been living for years now.
Thank you so much pastor Craig. This was such an emotional message for me, i feel that God knew that i would need you through this period of my life. I thank God everyday for your life.
Whoever is reading this I pray for peace, wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and great health. May we come together and walk in unity so we can have love for one another.
THIS REALLY DID SPEAK FOR ME. I just got injured in my bjj class. I was loaded and this was the only way out to rest, thankfully. He’s speaking to me in SO MANY WAYS. He’s merciful, He’s welcoming, He’s Forever Loving. I love you Jesus. ❤️ Just come to Him. Thank you Lord!
This message was definitely for me. I am overwhelmed at how each and every one of my broken-hearted prayers in silence were answered in this video. God listens. God is near. Thank you so much. I needed this so much. Thank you for your courage, transparency, and truth. I feel like I finally drank water after being dehydrated for so long. Thank you and May God bless you pastor and this church. May He give you rest and fill you and strengthen you to keep standing up and speaking His words. Thank you Jesus. ❤
Thank you, this message was for me, I've been in burnout for over 3 years and going on vacation is like you said "adding to my stress" because getting away doesn't help when you have to face the mountain that building while you're away. Thanks again for your message, it has reassured me of what I need to do and that is "I need My batteries to be recharged"!
God bless you for being sooooo transparent!! This message is for me!! I am currently in severe occupational burnout plus everyday stressed out!! I didnt even know what to call what I was going thru. And u helped me thru Jesus!! And the burnout of always having to preform my BEST, in all I do!! Being all things for all ppl for the sake of Christ. Thx u for sharing yr story bc im right there with u!! Im not alone!! Thx u Jesus for having me scroll apon this sermon!! Pls continue to do more sermons on this!! Thx u and im praying for you & everyone!! 🙏❤
Pastor Craig you are describing to a T what I went through in August of last year..... even down to the two weeks span of not being able to remember anything. I'm grateful to say I am still here and doing better than ever. There is life after a meltdown.... what I find interesting is that if I had the choice, I would not change anything about this last year..... because it is the reason I'm living the life I am right now! Not perfect, but focused, determined and grateful every day the Lord reached down, pulled me out and put me on solid ground!!
I have a friend who has Cptsd he lives in the U.S,,I keep praying for him although I know he dont believe in God. Thank you Pastor Craig for the inspiration message everyday.
Pastor Craig THANK YOU! There is such a stigma with being an “on fire for God” Christian and suffering with depression and anxiety! I am sharing all of your messages on my social media! You are making a difference for the Kingdom! 🙏🏻🙌🔥
This message is definitely for me! I am definitely mentally and physically drained. I call on the name of Jesus to help heal me from all my pain and brokenness.
This message was for me. I have been feeling burned out for months but have been suppressing my feelings and needs in order to keep afloat and it has been weighing on my body physically. Needless to say, God knows exactly what I need to help me put one foot in front of the other. Great message. Will listen again!
Such a timely message. Thanks for sharing pastor Craig. I'll be following this sermon series from Uganda. I've led 2 prayer groups for the pay 1 year and 6 months besides being a wife, mum, business woman and life group host. The first prayer group was for our pastor who was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and after his passing we began a support group as ladies to support the wife. It's been very uplifting but yet I feel burnt out and like I have nothing more to offer. This message has surely been for me.
This was for me. It goes along with our churches sermon series. You always know when the Lord is moving in your church when sermons across the country are aligned.

Thank for this message!! I especially thank you for always being so honest and real. It has made it easier to not beat myself up. Instead it has helped me lean into our Lords love and comfort. It has helped me put on the Lords armor and keep going. Through Life church my path with the Lord has changed. I know the struggle doesn’t change but it changes how I handle the struggles 😊 Thank you Life church!!!
this message was for me. I pray for wisdom, a strong mind, and a loving heart. I pray for all my family members hearts and mind. I pray for the broken hearted and those who don’t know you. I pray in the end we all end up with you.
Gonna send this to my brother. He failed in one of his exams. I think he's really burnt out. We talked about it , I think I gave him comfortable convincing words just to lift up his spirit. But I think he needs to hear this. God bless you pastor! ❣️ Thank God! ❣️🙏
Thank you for being completely transparent. The hardest thing to realize when we feel broken is we are not alone. 🙏❤ I have a wonderful church home and family, I am blessed with a wonderful husband and three adult sons and still feel completely alone and overwhelmed. I believe i was to hear your message today as I am at work trying to play catchup so i don't feel so consumed tomorrow. Your message has truly hit and made me see I need to reach out. Thank you.
This message is for me ! Thank You Lord ! I need to rest, I need to learn how to rest ! I need to be free from shame from what I've done wrong, and from what I've haven't done ! I need You Jesus, I want to silence the voices in my head, to hear your whispers and enjoy Your love, joy, peace, patience ....
Praise God for His goodness. I have been experiencing so much burnout and have been afraid to speak out. His gentleness and kindness is immeasurable. God bless Pastor Craig and anyone reading this. I pray that the Lord comforts you.
This is excellent. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I have been there and understand. You will come out stronger and better than ever on the other side of this. Stay in faith. God Bless!

I gleaned a lot from this message. Several points you made were a confirmation of what God had been saying for several months. I appreciate you and your vulnerability. Lord, I surrender and ask that you will take me deeper with this message... Thank you.
Thank you for sharing, Susan! It's so cool when God puts something on our hearts in that way. Praying that He would continue to draw you closer to Him in relationship ❤️🙏 Beth - Team LC
One question. We are told to try to live a life like God’s. God’s life was full of hardship. He was persecuted and died on the cross. So does that mean that our lives should be filled with hardship and emotional agony too . He took all that pain so we should be able to take all the pain as well. I do not feel up to all that I have been given. I keep telling him it is too much and that i need his help. How do we hear his whisper? How do I know he is with me when I feel so alone. I ask him to bring me home to him because I am overwhelmed and burned out and do not know how to handle it all and go on. Then I feel bad about that and feel that may be yet another sin.
This is a really vulnerable question and I appreciate it! Although I can not tell you 100% what God's intent was when saying this, I can tell you to the best of my knowledge. Jesus wanted us to live a life like his, meaning, being loving, caring, God-Centered. He wanted us to be people minded, selfless, and loyal. Does this mean that we are not going to come across hardships sometimes? No, not at all. You may get made fun of sometimes for believing in Christ - that is a form of persecution. The wait isn't too heavy because Jesus already carried it for us❤️ I really hope this helps. a little bit! Stevie - Team LC
You were speaking to me. I have to constantly remind myself God has already gone before me. This too shall pass, and some days, I'm just overwhelmed with emotion and feel like it's too much. Praying for all of us in this season of burnout. ❤ may there be a shift. God lead the way there!
I want to tell you Thank You for sharing this wonderful message pastor Creg. This message was for me, & I needed this too. Since last year in May until April of this year, my husband and I was stressed and burt out. We had no friends, or family to turn too. My husband gave up. We just moved to Oklahoma.

Needed this! It’s busy season for me as a wedding photographer! Anxiety loves to attack me, but I need to FIX MY THOUGHTS on HIM! I’d love some prayer and encouragement! Anxiety and OCD suck!
This happened to me recently. I was overwhelmed with church/town gossip, criticism, on top of my personal life. When I tried to establish boundaries that my counsellor insisted on, women in church/town (majority) have been awful. Immediately, they tried to label me as mentally ill and blame me for standing up for myself when my boundaries were disrespected. Churches need to wake up and stop putting people in charge that do not have the empathy nor compassion, respect, etc for others. When it's consistently a specific environment bringing someone down....that says a lot.
Thank you for all you do and the videos you put up…..this week has been such a change for me cause you’ve helped me understand so much…and it all started with embracing my bible Monday morning and begging God to help me understand so I can change…and he showed me you…
I definitely feel like this message is for me, me and my husband have been trying to conceive our first child for 7 years and I experienced a miscarriage at 6 weeks ,2 months ago. I’m beginning to feel burnt out trying to keep going. Lord help me to find rest in this time and continue to be patient. Amen 🙏🏾
Dear life church this message impacted my current situation as a 3rd year pre med college student I felt loaded due to the demands of other people at the same time school requirements are freaking me out. honestly, this new month of the year made me afraid of petty things like my thesis paper..... but thank God that he is closer than what I imagine if he did it to Elijah he will do it again to us ,,, yes Jesus! all I need is encounter and presence from you

Wow what a powerful message! Needed to hear this so much 🙏 so grateful for Pastor Craig and the life church team. We are from Israel and have been so blessed by this ministry 🙌🇮🇱
Thank you so much for this message, pastor Craig. I needed to hear this. I have not been going to church and have been watching more of you than anything else. Fellowship is important and it does say that in the Bible.
Amen! Fellowship is so important! One of my favorite ways to get fellowship in is to go to my LifeGroup every Tuesday! Do you have a LifeGroup? If not check the out here! www.life.church/lifegroups Stevie - Team LC
I watched this because I can't go on by myself. Ive been feeling isolated and I feel like I can't do anything. I lose focus and the value of what I see is fading. Im glad I saw this video and I hope soon i will find a place to share this suffering with other chirstians.
God, I lift up this marriage. I ask that you help them both have the heart and eyes to see each other through your eyes. I pray that you work in them both, giving them a willingness to forgive and seek reconciliation. God, I ask for patience as they navigate how you will work in this marriage and choose to put you first. Protect both of them from ungodly influences that strain their marriage and their trust. Work in and through them to bless each other in this difficult time. In your name, Amen. Heather

This message is for me. Thank you for you work, I enjoy listening to your messages. I have learned a lot from you and I am currently in Pastoral School hoping to learn more about God every day.
What a great message/sermon from Craig Groeschel! This is exactly what I needed to hear and come across since I tend to struggle with stress when it comes to certain situations.
This message has me written with my name and life written All over it. Thank you for your transparency and the word of Life spoken to me thru this message.
Amen! Thank you for sharing Pastor! If you asked me to write a sermon on the experience of burnout God allowed me to go through it would sound like this. In the midst of my burnout God brought me to the ordinary, to practice coming before Him daily and laying myself at His feet. He opened my eyes to see Elijah in a new way, to not feel shame about my burnout but has used my inability for His glory now. The pain and exhaustion has been used to show others how great His comfort is. So I can look back now and thank God for my season of burnout, cause it brought me closer to Him.
When you’re stressed or close to burnout, are you most likely to run yourself into the ground, try to do it all on your own, or dwell on the negative?
Yes
I don't have any patience

This is helping so much. My wife was diagnosed with cancer. I was diagnosed with diabetes. And then I lost my job and need to continue being a part time pastor. Sometimes, life is hard! But God is still God.
Amen! May his name be praised above all names. The Lord is by your side ❤
So sorry for your problems. I pray things get better! There's a lot about suffering in the Bible, but we seldom hear THAT preached 🤔
@@WeRHisPoem My new Favorite verse is now Isaia 26:3 😉

”Whoever finds God, finds life!”
I gleaned a lot from this message. Several points you made were a confirmation of what God had been saying for several months. I appreciate you and your vulnerability.
Lord, I surrender and ask that you will take me deeper with this message... Thank you.
Thank you for sharing, Susan! It's so cool when God puts something on our hearts in that way. Praying that He would continue to draw you closer to Him in relationship ❤️🙏

One question. We are told to try to live a life like God’s. God’s life was full of hardship. He was persecuted and died on the cross. So does that mean that our lives should be filled with hardship and emotional agony too . He took all that pain so we should be able to take all the pain as well. I do not feel up to all that I have been given. I keep telling him it is too much and that i need his help. How do we hear his whisper? How do I know he is with me when I feel so alone. I ask him to bring me home to him because I am overwhelmed and burned out and do not know how to handle it all and go on. Then I feel bad about that and feel that may be yet another sin.
This is a really vulnerable question and I appreciate it!
Although I can not tell you 100% what God's intent was when saying this, I can tell you to the best of my knowledge. Jesus wanted us to live a life like his, meaning, being loving, caring, God-Centered. He wanted us to be people minded, selfless, and loyal. Does this mean that we are not going to come across hardships sometimes? No, not at all. You may get made fun of sometimes for believing in Christ - that is a form of persecution. The wait isn't too heavy because Jesus already carried it for us❤️ I really hope this helps. a little bit!

You were speaking to me. I have to constantly remind myself God has already gone before me. This too shall pass, and some days, I'm just overwhelmed with emotion and feel like it's too much. Praying for all of us in this season of burnout. ❤ may there be a shift. God lead the way there!
🙏❤️
Thank you, feeling completely lost and beyond stressed.
GOD BLESS PASTOR CRAIG FOR BEING SO HONEST AND ADDRESSING THESE ISSUES!
Much welcome Kathleen and keep tuned for more from the lord.
I want to tell you Thank You for sharing this wonderful message pastor Creg. This message was for me, & I needed this too. Since last year in May until April of this year, my husband and I was stressed and burt out. We had no friends, or family to turn too. My husband gave up. We just moved to Oklahoma.

This message is for me. I'll take prayer from anyone who would offer it. Thank you
This happened to me recently. I was overwhelmed with church/town gossip, criticism, on top of my personal life. When I tried to establish boundaries that my counsellor insisted on, women in church/town (majority) have been awful. Immediately, they tried to label me as mentally ill and blame me for standing up for myself when my boundaries were disrespected. Churches need to wake up and stop putting people in charge that do not have the empathy nor compassion, respect, etc for others. When it's consistently a specific environment bringing someone down....that says a lot.
Having boundaries is a must for each person.
This was for me. I’m so mentally exhausted. 25 with a wife and two kids and it’s just so hard to feel happy deep inside
Thank you for all you do and the videos you put up…..this week has been such a change for me cause you’ve helped me understand so much…and it all started with embracing my bible Monday morning and begging God to help me understand so I can change…and he showed me you…
❤️🙏
I definitely feel like this message is for me, me and my husband have been trying to conceive our first child for 7 years and I experienced a miscarriage at 6 weeks ,2 months ago. I’m beginning to feel burnt out trying to keep going. Lord help me to find rest in this time and continue to be patient. Amen 🙏🏾
Praying for you and with you.

I needed to hear this.
I have not been going to church and have been watching more of you than anything else.
Fellowship is important and it does say that in the Bible.
Amen! Fellowship is so important! One of my favorite ways to get fellowship in is to go to my LifeGroup every Tuesday! Do you have a LifeGroup? If not check the out here! www.life.church/lifegroups

Ooh!!glory be to Almighty God for this wonderful message I thank God for connecting me to life church amen senior pastor.

thank you pastor Craig for this message
This…for my husband and I…just wow! The burnout struggle real! Pray for us! 🙏🏻
God, I lift up this marriage. I ask that you help them both have the heart and eyes to see each other through your eyes. I pray that you work in them both, giving them a willingness to forgive and seek reconciliation. God, I ask for patience as they navigate how you will work in this marriage and choose to put you first. Protect both of them from ungodly influences that strain their marriage and their trust. Work in and through them to bless each other in this difficult time. In your name, Amen.

🙌🙂That great news, that you're attending Pastoral School and growing closer with him. -Matthew
I could use prayers finding a Christian therapist. Thank you Life Church and pastor Craig, this series has been so helpful..
What a great message/sermon from Craig Groeschel! This is exactly what I needed to hear and come across since I tend to struggle with stress when it comes to certain situations.
You are not alone! Lord God, help us to have the strength to trust you and keep trusting you and keep trusting you. Thank you for loving us! Amen.
This message has me written with my name and life written
All over it. Thank you for your transparency and the word of Life spoken to me thru this message.
❤️
Thank you Jesus for this message❤️
Thank you Pastor. This message was for me and I found it helpful and encouraging. God bless you👑✝️❤️🇿🇦
Amen! Thank you for sharing Pastor!
If you asked me to write a sermon on the experience of burnout God allowed me to go through it would sound like this. In the midst of my burnout God brought me to the ordinary, to practice coming before Him daily and laying myself at His feet. He opened my eyes to see Elijah in a new way, to not feel shame about my burnout but has used my inability for His glory now. The pain and exhaustion has been used to show others how great His comfort is. So I can look back now and thank God for my season of burnout, cause it brought me closer to Him.
❤️🙌
Thank you, Lindsay, for sharing that!
Praising our Mighty God!!
