Come unto Me, all ye that labour and
are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28
I have been dealing with a condition known as "Battle Fatigue." I'm not kidding...
For a while now, I have mistakenly labeled it chronic fatigue and a general feeling of tiredness which never seems to go away. But the other day it suddenly dawned on me, "This isn't a condition of chronic fatigue after all!" Rather, it's something entirely different, although many of the symptoms may be the same.
Therefore, believing this to be a genuine case of battle fatigue and combat related weariness, I am looking at my situation differently. And, I should add, that what I am stating now is not to be taken as something bad. For I know with absolute certainty that God is with me. He has His hands upon my life and what is happening to me is for a good purpose. Nevertheless, I am presently looking at this from the standpoint of it being spiritual in nature and cause. In other words, it is more than a case of overall exhaustion.
As I had written in my journal for August 16, every Christian's work for the Lord has a spiritual component to it. That it is more than a physical work. So, looking at it in this manner, I now have more clarity as to what is going on with my own body. After all, soldiers can be afflicted with this ailment. And as a Christian who is active in serving Christ, this too can be a "warfare" to a degree, albeit a spiritual one (Ephesians 6:10-18).
