THE COVENANT
Daily Devotionals & Reflections
In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for Me wholeheartedly, you will find Me.”
Jeremiah 29:12–13 (NLT)
October 1, 2026
There are days when I am simply tired. Tired in my body, tired in my mind, and sometimes tired in my spirit. On those days, it can feel easier to say, “I’ll pray later,” or “I’ll spend time with God when I have more energy.”
But I’m learning that I should never be too tired for God.
God is not asking me to come to Him only when I have everything together. He wants me to come when I am exhausted, overwhelmed, discouraged, and running on empty. Sometimes the very reason I feel so tired is because I have been trying to carry things that were never meant for me to carry alone.
Even if all I can manage is a quiet, “Lord, help me,” that is still coming to Him. Even if my prayer is short, He hears it. Even when I cannot find the right words, He understands my heart.
I don't want my tiredness to become an excuse to drift away from the One who gives me strength. Instead, I want it to become the reason I draw closer.
So today, even when I am tired, I will seek Him. I will give Him my exhaustion, my thoughts, my worries, and everything I am carrying. Because God is not another thing on my list to accomplish. He is the One who helps me keep going.
Psalm 63:1 NIV
“You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water.”
Never Too Tired for God
I don't have to be at my best to come to God. I can come tired. I can come weary. I can come exactly as I am. Sometimes, the moment I think I have nothing left to give is the moment I discover that God has been waiting for me to come to Him so He can give me strength.
Take a moment today to declare:
“I may be tired, but I will not neglect my time with God. When I have no strength, I will come to Him. When I have no words, I will still seek Him. When I feel empty, I will allow Him to fill me again. I am never too tired for the One who gives me strength.”
Reflection
Closing Prayer
Heavenly Father,
When I am tired, remind me that I am never too tired to come to You. When I have no words, hear what my heart is trying to say. When I feel empty, fill me again with Your presence. Help me not to push You aside because I am busy, overwhelmed, or exhausted. Teach me to run to You first, especially when I have nothing left. Thank You for being my strength when I am weak and my source when I am empty.
In Jesus' name,
Amen.
