When Your Spirit Feels Drained and You’re Barely Holding On

In today’s episode, Dr. Alison reflects on David’s honest prayer: “My spirit fails.” This is not a polished prayer or a failure of faith. It is a truthful prayer from a depleted soul. If you’re still functioning on the outside but feel dry, drained, or quietly unraveling on the inside, this passage gives you language for coming to God exactly as you are.

We explore:

*Why depletion is not laziness or spiritual failure

*How emotional exhaustion impacts your nervous system

*What actually helps restore us

*Next steps to take when you're feeling depleted

If today’s devotion helped you feel less alone, share it with someone who might need the same encouragement.
