Why do I feel exhausted from always trying to hold everything together?

You've been shouldering the weight of everyone else's struggles for so long, you've forgotten what it's like to not be holding something together. Your exhaustion is not just a sign of overwork, it's a warning that you're running on empty, with no reserve to draw from. As the scripture says, "the battle is not yours, but God's" - what if your role is not to hold everything together, but to learn to trust that He will. You are not a pillar, you are a person, and it's time to stop carrying the weight of the world.
