Most Americans are tired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ask most any American and you will hear an array of reasons\nwhy we are tired. The answers range from long work hours to too many\nobligations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lots of things make us tired. We can become mentally tired.\nWe all have things to think about and often we dwell on them. We think, we\nanalyze, we worry and we wonder what tomorrow will bring. We ponder on personal\nproblems, family situations, work issues, health battles. The list is almost\nnever ending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Americans deal with health issues and how to pay medical\nbills. People who have what seems to be guaranteed retirements even worry about\nthe possibility that life could change for them. A good friend once told me his\nretirement was set until he was 90. \u201cI\u2019m 88,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen I become 90 I\u2019m\ngoing to run out of money.\u201d He lived to be 91. Many American s worry about\noutliving their money. Making more money if you live into your eighties has to\nbe more difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, Americans are tired of all our problems. We\u2019re\ntired of hearing about another killing. We are tired of hearing about our drug\ncrisis. We are tired of hearing Washington and state politicians spout off\nabout what they are going to do but all they do is get richer promising change,\nsolutions and reform that never come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Americans are tired of all the arguing we see on television\nand hear on radio. We know how many of our social media friends feel about the\nissues. Whenever an issue comes up it\u2019s the same people talking the same\nrhetoric as before. We already knew how they felt before they said anything.\nHowever, some people talk and some people act. About the only action it seems\nthat matters much is voting and it\u2019s sad when some Americans are tired of all\nof it but they still won\u2019t drag themselves to the polls and vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hear a lot about reviving our economy and breathing more\nlife into America\u2019s work places. We need someone to breathe some life into the\naverage American. Have you ever noticed how many people are walking around\nlooking like they are about half dead? Too many Americans are zoned out,\nindifferent and zapped of human emotion and energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus said, \u201cCome to me all who are weary and burdened and I\nwill give you rest,\u201d Matthew 11:28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was referring to an internal rest that no one or nothing\nelse can give. He was referring to our spirit, the heart of our internal\nbeing. Many Americans and most of the world are trying to feed our souls\nwith any and everything but it never satisfies us. There is rest for America\nand a peace that passes understanding. This rest and peace is only what\nGod can give and the world can never take it away. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
