Podcasts about weariness

Subject: Sunday AM Speaker or Performer: Pastor Sheerin Scripture Passage(s): Galatians 6:9 Date of Delivery: August 10, 2025

"In this sermon on Ecclesiastes 1:12–18, we explore the sobering conclusion of Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived: even the pursuit of wisdom, apart from God, is vanity. Though many today still believe that knowledge, reason, or philosophy can solve the world's deepest problems, Solomon exposes this as a “grasping for the wind.”

Send us a textStrength for the Weary Soul | A Global Prayer for Spiritual Exhaustion | Psalm 119:28 DevotionalWelcome to Unshakeable: A Daily Christian Devotional Podcast with Reverend Ben Cooper Broadcasting from the United Kingdom to hearts across the world, this podcast is your spiritual anchor in uncertain times—offering biblically grounded encouragement, global perspective, and authentic prayer.Soul weariness is real—and it's global. Whether you're in London, Lagos, Mumbai, Melbourne, or Los Angeles, spiritual exhaustion knows no borders. In today's deeply moving five-minute devotional, Reverend Ben Cooper invites believers around the world to confront the heaviness of soul fatigue with honesty, faith, and the power of God's Word.Drawing from Psalm 119:28, “My soul is weary with sorrow; strengthen me according to your word,” this meditation uncovers the sacred space where human sorrow meets divine strength. Many believers silently suffer under the weight of spiritual tiredness—this episode speaks directly to that pain with compassion and scriptural truth.Biblical Foundations This devotional immerses listeners in several key scriptural moments:Psalm 119:28 – David's transparency gives believers permission to confess their weariness and seek strength in God's Word.Matthew 26:38 – Jesus, in Gethsemane, said, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death.” Even the Son of God embraced the reality of soul weariness.2 Corinthians 4:7-10 – We are jars of clay, fragile yet filled with resurrection power.Isaiah 40:29-31 – “He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.”1 Peter 5:10 – After suffering, God Himself will restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. Life Application:This prayerful reflection breaks through cultural expectations—especially in the Western Church—that portray faith as constant strength. Real discipleship allows space for lament, for weariness, and for holy surrender. This episode gently dismantles perfectionism and offers an invitation to step into God's strength, not by striving but by receiving.Listeners are guided to release burdens, renounce self-reliance, and speak truth over their own lives. The prayer becomes a spiritual recalibration—reminding you that "Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world" (1 John 4:4). This episode is ideal for morning devotion, late-night reflection, or any moment when your spirit needs a reset.A Global Invitation:Wherever you're listening from—whether facing persecution, battling burnout, navigating grief, or simply running dry—this prayer is for you. God's Word strengthens the missionary, the mother, the pastor, the student, and the seeker alike. Let this devotional be a spiritual lifeline across time zones and borders.Call to Action:Subscribe now to Unshakeable: A Daily Christian Devotional Podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, GoogSupport the showThank you for listening!

(Ecclesiastes 1:12-18) As we continue our series engaging with Ecclesiastes we have the privilege of hearing Melinda Cousens, current Director of Ministries with BCSANT sharing with us on the weariness of wisdom. Today we unpack the various tensions that come from seeking knowledge. As The Teacher in Ecclesiastes shares, seeking wisdom can lead to grief and sorrow! Melinda takes the opportunity to unpack the various tensions at play, and to offer a suggestion of what it looks like to live in the middle of them.

In this episode of Thinking Out Loud, Nathan and Cameron explore the growing weariness many Christians feel toward today's nonstop news cycle—from the emptiness of sensational headlines to the deeper cultural and spiritual implications of media overload. They reflect on why stories that once captivated now seem meaningless, and why skepticism toward both the news and its messengers is rising. The conversation then turns to the sobering allegations surrounding Michael Tate, former member of DC Talk and the Newsboys, prompting a hard but necessary theological reflection on celebrity culture within the Church, moral integrity, and the long-term impact of scandal on Christian witness. With thoughtful nuance, Nathan and Cameron bring a gospel-centered perspective to difficult questions about fame, faith, and how Christians should engage a broken culture without losing hope.

This week, Rev. Trudy and Rev. Hannah of First UMC of San Diego wrap up their current digital bible study conversation about the various forms of faith and how they may help us resolve heavy emotions that are running high for so many of us these days. Their focus in this conversation is weariness, as inspired by Matthew 11:16-19, 25-30. Ultimately asking: Have we made being a Christian too hard? The female pastors look closely at what actions truly make us a disciple of Christ, removing the unnecessary elements so you can be a Christian no matter where you’re at in life: love God, love your neighbor, and love yourself. They ask what sharing the yoke with Jesus means and looks like, as well as: How do we find rest without neglecting duties? How does distraction affect our energy? Is it more important to have learned knowledge or intuitive knowledge when it comes to knowing and experiencing God? It’s an interesting conversation that examines a wide range of topics. You can keep the conversation going by joining our weekly in-person Convergence discussion group or heading over to our Patreon channel to discuss the following questions with others: What distracts you from faith? Do you think the yoke of Jesus is easy? Why or why not? What would true spiritual rest look like for you? Our Patreon community is open to all – no matter where you align in your spiritual beliefs.

The antidote to weariness is prayer

Waiting on the Lord should be a daily thing

To wait means to look in expectation

Our strength is renewed by waiting upon the Lord

Our God never grows weary or weak #

Weariness Is A Weapon But God Wants to Move • Friday Service If you'd like to support the ministry, please visit: www.ToddCoconato.com/give Learn more at: www.PastorTodd.org Ezekiel 37:4-5 (NKJV) “Again He said to me, ‘Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, “O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones: ‘Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live.'” Amos 5:23-24 (NKJV) “Take away from Me the noise of your songs… But let justice run down like water, and righteousness like a mighty stream.” Galatians 6:4 (NKJV) “But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.” Revelation 12:10 (NKJV) “…the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.” Philippians 3:13-14 (NKJV) “…forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize…” Matthew 7:5 (NKJV) “First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.” Acts 2:1-4 (NKJV) “When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

Prayer

Let us intercede for one another

Intercession can save the life of the weary, who is praying for you?

Locate the river(the Word of God) and sit by it

Be aware that the goal of the enemy is actually to take you out completely

Spiritual weariness doesn't always announce itself with a crash—it often creeps in like a slow leak. You still go through the motions. You still show up. But deep inside, you're drained. You've prayed, fasted, fought, believed… and now you're just tired. And the temptation to let go feels stronger than ever.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” — Galatians 6:9 (ESV)God never denied that weariness would come. In fact, Paul's words here acknowledge the very real weight of doing good in a broken world. But the promise is powerful: if you don't give up… you will reap.That's not hype. That's harvest. God sees what you've planted in prayer. He sees what you've carried in silence. He sees every tear, every late-night intercession, every quiet act of obedience. And He's not ignoring it. He's growing something underneath the surface that you can't yet see.But in seasons of exhaustion, you don't need to “do more”—you need to hold tighter. Not to your own strength. Not to your routines. To Him.Sometimes, clinging to God looks like resting in His Word when you can't feel His presence. Sometimes, it looks like crying out instead of shutting down. Sometimes, it looks like letting others carry you for a while.You're not weak for being weary. You're human. And the Father knows your frame. He's not waiting for you to impress Him—He's asking you to lean on Him.So today, take one more step. Not because you feel strong, but because He is. And because in due season… you will reap.Question of the Day:What part of your life feels the heaviest right now—and how can you cling tighter to God instead of letting go?Mini Call to Action:Take five minutes today to speak Galatians 6:9 over your weary heart. Then text or call someone to pray with you. Don't carry it alone.Let's Pray:Lord, I'm tired. But I'm not giving up. Help me to hold on when everything tells me to let go.

It’s titled, “Walking Through Weariness.” Everyone will experience a period or periods of weariness in this life.

Be encouraged today as you worship and study along with us…

DateJune 1, 2025SynopsisThis week, we welcome special guest preacher Mallory Wyckoff, who first leads us in an imaginative exercise with scripture, inviting us to step into the story and feel its weight. We then explore how Jesus meets us in our deepest weariness and transforms the emptiest of places into spaces of abundance. Join us as we discover the power of trust in the deep places of our lives, where Jesus weaves nets of liberation and hope.ReferencesScripture: Luke 5:1-11About The Local ChurchFor more information about The Local Church, visit our website.

   We’ve all had the experience of TIME running much faster than we want it to, and sometimes we actually run OUT of TIME, or find ourselves far behind a time schedule. That is especially true in a rebuilding project, have you experienced that? Join me again please in Jerusalem about 2500 years ago. Everywhere you look at that time, dirt is flying, as the ruins of the demolition of the city of Jerusalem and the great Temple of God are being cleared and restoration begun! Yesterday we looked at Ezra’s description of the rebuilding of the huge Altar for Burnt Offerings on the Temple mount. (Ezra 3:2) In fact that reconstruction happened exactly on the foundation of the original Altar which had first been constructed there almost 500 years before by King Solomon!

Therefore the LORD waits to be gracious to you,     and therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you.For the LORD is a God of justice;     blessed are all those who wait for him.Isaiah 30:1823 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. Matthew 23:23GOD WILL SHOW MERCYTherefore the LORD waits to be gracious to you,     and therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you.For the LORD is a God of justice;     blessed are all those who wait for him.Isaiah 30:18And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness 2 for forty days, being tempted by the devil.Luke 4:1-2"Misinterpretations of our Redeemer's delays are the occasion of a great deal of wickedness. Our Lord Jesus has gone up into the mount of glory, where he is appearing in the presence of God for us, but out of our sight; the heavens must contain him, must conceal him, that we may live by faith. Weariness in waiting betrays us to a great many temptations."HenryHow we act in the wilderness is not the exception; its the rule (its who we really are)Certain of God's people are in trouble and distress, and they are eager for immediate rescue. They cannot wait God's time, nor exercise submission to his will. He will surely deliver them in due season; but they cannot tarry till the hour cometh; like children, they snatch at unripe fruit. ‘To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven'; but their one season is the present; they cannot, they will not wait. They must have their desire instantaneously fulfilled, or else they are ready to take wrong means of attaining it. If in poverty, they are in haste to be rich; and they shall not long be innocent. If under reproach, their heart ferments towards revenge. They would sooner rush under the guidance of Satan into some questionable policy, than in childlike simplicity trust in the Lord and do good. It must not be so with you, my brethren, you must learn a better way.Charles SpurgeonHOW WILL YOU WAIT FOR GOD?IN VIEW OF HIS ABSENCE“Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, a man who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, 20 and how our chief priests and rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him. 21 But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened. Luke 24:19-2132 They said to each other, “Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the Scriptures?”Luke 24:32God's absence might be a lack of feeling or understanding; but it is never a true absence. God is always there.IN VIEW OF OUR SINLike a dog that returns to his vomit    is a fool who repeats his folly.Proverbs 26:11God's absence might be due to our pursuit of sin; but it does not stop Him from pursuing us.HOW DID MOSES WAIT FOR GOD?IN VIEW OF GOD'S MERCY11 But Moses implored the Lord his God and said, “O Lord, why does your wrath burn hot against your people, whom you have brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand? 12 Why should the Egyptians say, ‘With evil intent did he bring them out, to kill them in the mountains and to consume them from the face of the earth'? Turn from your burning anger and relent from this disaster against your people. 13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your own self, and said to them, ‘I will multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have promised I will give to your offspring, and they shall inherit it forever.'” 14 And the Lord relented from the disaster that he had spoken of bringing on his people.Exodus 32:11-1411 But Moses implored the Lord…Exodus 32:11ḥālâ — to become weak; to groan26 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. 27 And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because[g] the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. Romans 8:26-27HOW DOES JESUS WAIT? 25 Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost[a] those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.Hebrews 7:25JESUS MAKES INTERCESSION FOR USThe son's intercession does not reflect the coolness of the Father, but the sheer warmth of the Son. Christ does not intercede because the Father's heart is tepid toward us but because the Son's heart is so full toward us. But the Father's own deepest delight is to say yes to the Son's pleading on our behalf.Dane C. Ortlund

How tired are you? I don't mean that you just need a nap or a good night's sleep. But that from deep with in, from life, from work, from stress that you are just tired? Did you know that, Weariness breaks us but Christ Mends us? Join us as we start our new series, "Rest for your Soul.

Arcana Colestia 7392. That He remove the frogs from me, and from my people. That this signifies that they might not be driven to reasonings from mere falsities, is evident from the signification of “removing,” as being not to be driven, for the cause of the supplication was weariness arising from being driven to reason from mere falsities; from the signification of “frogs,” as being reasonings from mere falsities (see n. 7351, 7352); and from the representation of Pharaoh and also of the Egyptians, as being those who are in falsities and infest (of which frequently above). [2] As regards the weariness which is the cause of the supplication or humiliation of those who infest, be it known that this is undelightful to them, for they cannot do mischief by reasonings from mere falsities, because the upright-here those who are of the Lord's spiritual church whom they were infesting-laugh at mere falsities, which are negations of truth; but they could do mischief by means of the falsities from the fallacies and appearances by which truths are falsified (which falsified truths are signified by the blood into which the waters of Egypt were turned, n. 7317, 7326), because fallacies and appearances seduce, for they are like a shade and veil to truths. And because they cannot do mischief by means of reasonings from mere falsities, that is, from utter negations of truth, it is undelightful to them, and therefore they deprecate it; for nothing delights the infernals except doing mischief in every possible way; doing mischief being the very delight of their life, insomuch that it is their very life; and therefore when they are not allowed to do mischief, they are in weariness. This is the reason why Pharaoh prayed for deliverance from the evil of the frogs, but not from the evil of the blood, of which above; nor from the evil of the lice, of which below; for by the evil of the frogs is signified infestation by means of reasonings from mere falsities, by which reasonings they cannot do mischief; whereas by the evil of the blood is signified infestation by means of falsities from fallacies and appearances, which infestation is delightful to them, because they can do mischief by its means; and by the evil of the lice are signified evils, which are delightful to them because they are evils. [3] In the other life all those perceive delight in doing mischief who in the world do not impart benefits to the neighbor for the sake of the neighbor, nor to their country for the sake of their country, nor to the church for the sake of the church, but for the sake of themselves; thus who do not do truth and good for the sake of truth and good. That they have delight in doing mischief does not show itself in the world, because the external man hides it; but in the other life when the outward things are being taken away and the man is left to his inward things, then this delight comes forth and manifests itself. From this it is that they are in hell, for all who are there love to do mischief, whereas all who are in heaven love to impart benefits.

There's a weariness in their voices—not the kind that shuts down conversation, but the kind that makes room for something real. Stripped of pretense, their words carry the quiet strength of men who know both struggle and hope. What unfolds isn't just a discussion; it's an honest moment, an invitation to sit in the tension, listen closely, and seek Jesus right in the midst of it all. Support the showSUPPORT THE SHOW BEYOND SUBSCRIPTIONS1.

Today's Promise: Isaiah 40:29 In our fast-paced world, it's easy to get worn out and weary. We work longer hours and at a faster pace than ever before. Weariness is almost the word of the day. As Christians, God promises us supernatural strength and power. You have His power flowing through you to accomplish all He wants you to do. He will give you renewed strength as you trust in Him. Besides, it's not about your strength but His strength in you. As you trust in the Lord, He will strengthen you today.
