What to Do When You Have No More Capacity (But Life Asks You to Keep Showing Up Anyway)
Description
Today's Scripture: John 2:1–11
What do you do when you’ve run out of energy, patience, joy, or capacity? In today’s episode, we look at Jesus’ first miracle at the wedding in Cana, where the wine runs out and Jesus quietly meets a hidden need. This passage offers a tender picture of a God who does not shame our lack, but meets us with dignity and generosity. We explore:
*Why running out does not mean you’ve failed
*How burnout shows up in your body and nervous system
*Why honest naming can become a prayer
*How Jesus meets hidden depletion before it becomes public shame
*One small way to bring your burn-out to God today
