Glow-Up Devotional Day 17

Purpose Still Stands (Even When You’re Tired)

Scripture:“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” — Isaiah 40:31 (NIV)

The Glow-Up Message:

Sis…
Just because you’re tired doesn’t mean you’re out of position.
Just because you’re drained doesn’t mean you’re disqualified.

Even Jesus rested.
He sat at wells.
He slept during storms.
He stepped away from crowds to refill before He poured again.

You are not weak for needing rest.
You’re wise for honoring your limits.

Purpose is not about running until you collapse.
It’s about learning when to pause so you don’t quit.
You can still be called and be on E.
You can still be anointed and need a nap.

Don’t confuse fatigue with failure.
God is not mad at you for being worn out.
He’s not disappointed — He’s waiting to renew you.

So breathe.
Rest is holy.
And your purpose?
Still stands.

The Glow-Up Assignment :

Write this in your planner or journal:
“I’m tired… not done.”
Then do one intentional thing to rest today:

1. Nap

2. Take a walk

3. Unplug from social

4. Sit in silence with God
   

Extra credit: Delete 3 things off today’s to-do list. (Yes, for real.)

Reflection Question:

What would rest look like for you today… if you believed God wanted you to take it?

Prayer of the Day:

God, I’m tired.
Not because I don’t trust You — but because I’ve been trying to do it all without stopping.
Renew me. Restore me. Remind me that rest is worship.
Help me to release the guilt I feel when I slow down.
Let me feel Your presence in my stillness — not just in my hustle.
Because I know that even in my weariness, You’re still working.
Amen.
