Exhaustion is a problem

I didn't stay up all night or get bad sleep, I just have a complicated disease. Sometimes it is hard to explain what fatigue and exhaustion is. You can look at me and just see an overweight thirty something. But really deep down I am a thirty something living like a 70 something. My joints hurt, my eyes burn, and I could sleep for hours at any given time. Today is especially hard. Not sure if it is from running the day before, the weather, being busy till bed time or just part of the rheumatoid in my system. I am not seeking sympathy, I just want people to see there are people in the world who have this. You can't see it or feel it, but it exists. 

I work full time which doesn't help. I am thankful to be blessed with a job that us flexible with me to take days off to "catch up". The hardest part is that only sleep can cure the hardest exhaustion. That is me today. I am praying the lunch nap will help. 

I also seek God's healing and blessings on my. Also on my daily who suffers from my inability to participate in a lot of the things the kids are involved in. God has blessed me with my children and now I want to bless them with my love and energy. 

Lord, I confess I am exhausted. I pray for miraculous strength!
