About this episode
When We Are Too Tired
“He came and found them sleeping.” (from Matthew 26:43)
Sometimes we are just too tired to do what we know we should.
Too tired to show up the way we want to.
Too tired to be who we are trying to be.
This is where the disciples were near the end of the Gospel of Matthew.
They had given up everything.
They had followed him everywhere.
They had done the best they could to learn, grow, and serve.
But in this moment, they just couldn’t.
There are moments when we are willing but not able to be
the parent, child, neighbor, friend, sibling, or coworker we want to be.
This wasn’t the end for the disciples.
Jesus didn’t dismiss or abandon them.
They eventually recentered, reenergized, and re-engaged.
Sometimes we have to allow ourselves—and each other—
the time and space to rest.
Even when it’s not convenient.
Because sometimes, it’s necessary.
I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope. Peace be with you.

He came and fell and sleeping. Sometimes we are just too tired to do what we know we should. Too tired to show up the way we want. Too tired to be who we are trying to be. This is where the disciples were near the end of the Gospel of Matthew. They had given up everything. They had followed him everywhere. They had done the best they could to learn, grow, and serve. But in this moment, they just couldn't. There are moments when we are willing but not able to be the parent, child, neighbor, friend, sibling, or coworker we want to be. This wasn't the end for the disciples. Jesus didn't dismiss or abandon them. They eventually re-energized and re-engaged. Sometimes we have to allow ourselves and each other the time and space to rest, even when it's not convenient, because sometimes it's necessary. I'm Haras MacKnellan. This is 60 Seconds of Hope. Peace be with you.
