Its a good word, I’ve been there too and it made me think that sometimes the furniture or car are just worn out, they’ve lost their lustre or shine from sheer hard work. The car’s motor can sound sick and spluttering because it needs a tune up.
Many Christians get burned out physically, emotionally and spiritually – their body is just worn out and they need time out and God can seem far away and they feel useless because they’re not doing anything.
Thankfully the Father does draw us beside the still waters where we find rest for our souls – enter His Rest where He restores our souls and teaches again to abide in His love – Father’s love that never gives up on us.
I like what you said that God is our best mate!
