Got FATIGUE? Anxiety zaps your energy, messes with your mind and body, leading to fatigue, doesn’t it?

Among the reasons for increasing anxiety today are money worries, poor health, and uncertain times–culturally and politically.. What are other energy drainers you see in the world? In your life? But God knows what you face and is with you. In fact, he desires that you find your security in his strength.

He gives strength to the weary
    and increases the power of the weak. Isaiah 40:29, NIV

So snap up these energy-boosting, fatigue fighters from the Bible. Cool?

Come to Jesus

While many of us sleep less than six hours a night according to this study, there’s a better rest when stressed.

Jesus said,

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28, ESV

Coming to Jesus is an invitation to trust Jesus personally, not merely believe historical facts about him. At Biblical Counseling Center, we counselors share this biblical truth: Faith is believing the Word of God and acting upon it, no matter how you feel, knowing God promises a good result.

Faith in Jesus leads to the best rest and more energy. Have you tried to pray at bedtime? How has prayer deepened your sleep?

Choose New Thoughts

By the power of the Holy Spirit, you can change the way you think so your thinking lines up with biblical truth. When you have God’s perspective on your troubles, you’ll sense joy and this joy gives way to energy.

When self-centered, you and I may ruminate over what should have been done yesterday or last week, or tomorrow and we feel jittery. Hurrying drains energy and may lead to negative thinking. Here’s a popular resource for transforming your thoughts.

Do you know that when you think well, you feel well and you act well?

It’s true. What you think influences how you think and, in turn, how you feel emotionally and physically AND, in turn, how you act.

For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. Proverbs 23:7, NKJV

From your heart (your inner person) flows your words and behavior.

Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Proverbs 4:23, NIV

Here are 5 more tips to boost energy through awesome, fatigue-fighting sleep.

1.  Get up and go to bed at the same time every day, even on weekends.

2. Keep your bedroom is quiet, dark, cool, and comfortable.

3. Use your bedroom for sleeping and for sex with your spouse, but not for watching television or doing work.

4. Do not regularly take naps unless you are ill or a new mom short on sleep.

5. Exercise nearly every day, but avoid getting sweaty 4 hours of bedtime. Walking is a great option.

Says biblical counselor and author Wayne Mack,

Recognize the fact that an occasional night when you have difficulty sleeping or getting asleep or staying asleep is quite common and will not seriously harm you unless you let it. Don’t focus on or worry about not getting to sleep. Remember also that on rare occasions God may withhold sleep because he wants you to spend extra time in prayer or meditation.

So no worry, friends. Rather, rest in Jesus, change your thoughts, and take care of your body. Need biblical hope and practical help? Please contact me and I can answer your questions or we can set up a complimentary 15-minute phone consult. Just ask.
