Didn't See it Coming by Carey Nieuwhof
Recognizing Burnout
- Others might recognize it in you before you do
- It's okay to get counselling
- No energy for things he loved
- Critical and cynical; no joy
- He withdrew from others
- Crash after serving
How It Happened
- Wasn't listening to God
- Exhausted because of burning the candle at both ends
- Wasn't listening to those around him
- Saw being busy as a badge of honour
- No boundaries
- Focused on own time and not God's timing
What Was Happening
- Wanted to do his own thing
- Ran from God
- Would only go a certain depth in his time with God
- Filled life with other things
Feelings That Defined That Time
- Lonely
- Lost
- Broken
Embrace the Painful Moments
- God had him work through things
- Had to rely on God like never before
- Even in the pain, God was still so gentle
- God won't leave you there
Scripture
- Brings peace
Phil 4:13(ESV) "I can do all things through him who strengthens me."
Psalm 23:4(NIV) "Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me."
What Encouraged Dave During this Time
- Being alone with God is when He showed up
- God's protection
- Memorized scriptures came back to his mind
- Truth from God
If You are Experiencing This
- Know that there is always hope
- It's about giving up control so God can work
