“...there is another kind of weariness, beyond physical sleep deprivation...
a weariness that getting more sleep cannot take away.  It might be the burden 
of worry over your child’s new diagnosis.  It might be fear over how this 
special-needs journey is going to affect your marriage. Or maybe it is 
anxiety over your child’s future and the future of your family.  If someone asked 
you how you are, you might respond with, “Fine!” - but deep down you are bone
tired - physically, emotionally, spiritually.  You just. want.  rest.  

This kind of deep weariness requires more than a nap or some “me time”.  
This is weariness of spirit...and it requires true rest and renewal that only our 
Father can provide, through His Word and through the power of the Holy Spirit.”
