How to Overcome Burnout

• Quit – (Job 1:9) - Then Satan answered the Lord and said, “Does Job fear God for no reason?

• Move – (Acts 14:2-3) -2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers.[a] 3 So they remained for a long time, speaking boldly for the Lord, who bore witness to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

• Withdraw – (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12) -9 Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. 10 For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! 11 Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? 12 And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

• Rest – (Mark 6:31) - 31 And he said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while.” For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat.

• Delegate – (Acts 6:2-4) -2 And the twelve summoned the full number of the disciples and said, “It is not right that we should give up preaching the word of God to serve tables. 3 Therefore, brothers,[a] pick out from among you seven men of good repute, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we will appoint to this duty. 4 But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”

• Collaborate – (Proverbs 12:15) - The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,
      but a wise man listens to advice.

• Set Proper Goals – (Proverbs 16:3) -  Commit your work to the Lord,
      and your plans will be established.

• Set Boundaries – (Mark 4:36) - And leaving the crowd, they took him with them in the boat, just as he was. And other boats were with him.

• Remember This Truth – (2 Corinthians 5:10) - For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.
