Unfortunately, it\u2019s easy to feel so exhausted by the onslaught of emotions that it seems harder to pray, also perhaps now more than ever. But it can be done, even when you\u2019re feeling completely spent.<\/p>\n<p>First, we can at least know that <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/caregiving\/family-caregiving\/6-ways-to-show-love-to-those-you-cant-see-because-of-social-distancing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">we\u2019re not alone<\/a>. Remember the story of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane? He told them, \u201cMy soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death\u201d (Matthew 26:38, NIV) and asked them to \u201ckeep watch\u201d in prayer while He prayed too. But \u201ctheir eyes were heavy\u201d (v. 43). They couldn\u2019t stay awake. Praying-when-tired clearly wasn\u2019t in their skill set.<\/p>\n<p>We can learn from their experience, nonetheless. We can pray even when we\u2019re worn out and used up. Here are a few ways to pray <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/daily-devotions\/devotions-for-women\/devotions-for-inspiration-devotions-for-women\/devotion-for-a-tired-mom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">when you\u2019re tired:<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Stand<\/strong><br \/>\nAs I said, I\u2019ve fallen asleep when praying\u2014but never <a href=\"\/node\/78162\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">while standing<\/a>. So, if you\u2019re tired but still want or need to pray, stand. Like Abraham, who \u201cremained standing before the Lord\u201d (Genesis 18:22, NIV). Like Moses, who stood with his staff in his hands until God\u2019s people defeated the Amalekites at Rephidim (see Exodus 17). Like the humble tax collector, who stood in the temple and beat his breast and \u201cwent home justified before God\u201d (Luke 18:14, NIV).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sing<\/strong><br \/>\nMaybe one of the reasons God\u2019s people are so often told in Scripture to \u201csing to the Lord\u201d (Psalm 96:1, NIV) is that <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/quotes-verses\/5-ways-to-sing-your-praise-to-god\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">singing our prayers to Him<\/a> not only engages heart and mind but also awakens them (or keeps them awake). In fact, when we sing, we breathe deeply and thus invigorate body and brain with oxygen, endorphins and other good stuff. \u201cHow good it is to sing praises to our God\u201d (Psalm 147:1, NIV)\u2014right?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Surrender<\/strong><br \/>\nI\u2019ve written before about the blessing I find in <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/how-to-pray\/a-very-old-way-to-pray-bedtime-prayers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">praying Compline prayers<\/a>, the nightly liturgy of \u201cpre-bedtime prayers.\u201d That practice has taught me to surrender my weariness and sleepiness to God. To let Him wrap His loving, everlasting arms around me, as I leave myself, my loved ones, and the world in His hands and surrender to sleep. \u201cHe grants sleep to those He loves,\u201d the Bible says (Psalm 127:2, NIV), so it\u2019s okay to accept His gift and lie down in His embrace.<\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re \u201ctoo tired to pray,\u201d let standing or singing or surrender be your prayer. God will be there for you no less when you sleep than when you\u2019re awake.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These days, with disrupted routines, disturbing news, and daily uncertainty, we may feel the need to pray, perhaps now more than ever.
