 1.2.25-

Have you ever been so tired that you didn't have the strength to cry out that you're empty?

If the low battery light is not given attention it will eventually not shine to indicate low battery.

If attention is not given to being spiritually, physically, emotionally, spent there may come a time that you're too weak to cry out for help.

"God uses chronic pain and weakness, along with other afflictions, as his chisel for sculpting our lives. Felt weakness deepens dependence on Christ for strength each day. The weaker we feel, the harder we lean. And the harder we lean, the stronger we grow spiritually, even while our bodies waste away. To live with your ‘thorn’ uncomplainingly—that is, sweet, patient, and free in heart to love and help others, even though every day you feel weak—is true sanctification. It is true healing for the spirit. It is a supreme victory of grace.” J.I. Packer

3,000 years ago a poet wrote. "

My God my God, why have you forsaken me?"

The teacher felt this way and said it as he died

If you feel weak and alone God understands.

Prayer is also telling yourself what God knows.

Psalm 22

22 My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?
Far from my [b]help are the words of my [c]groaning.
2 My God, I cry out by day, but You do not answer;
And by night, but [d]I have no rest.
3 Yet You are holy,
You who [e]are enthroned upon the praises of Israel.
4 In You our fathers trusted;
They trusted and You rescued them.
5 To You they cried out and they fled to safety;
In You they trusted and were not [f]disappointed.

6 But I am a worm and not a person,
A disgrace of mankind and despised by the people.
7 All who see me deride me;
They [g]sneer, they shake their heads, saying,
8 “[h]Turn [i]him over to the Lord; let Him save him;
Let Him rescue him, because He delights in him.”
