Tired On The Inside | Pastor Steven Furtick | Elevation Church

“I’m tired.” Have you said that lately? When you’re tired on the inside, it’s all too easy to feel drained, overwhelmed, and like nothing is going to change.

In “Tired On The Inside,” Pastor Steven shares from the story of the woman at the well in John 4, showing us how powerful rest can be –– if we’re looking for it in the right places.

But what if one of the reasons we’re tired all the time is because we’ve been going to the wrong well? What if we’ve been running to sources of stress instead of God’s source of rest?

Being weary doesn’t mean we’re weak. Maybe it just means we’ve been “filling up” in the wrong places. Maybe we’re tired because we’ve been pushing against what God is trying to call us into.

He said, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11 verse 28).

Are you ready for true rest?

      This message confirmed MY tiredness these last few days heavily, fighting for the truth in my Jesus around me and for my loved ones, the faith and trust in him only personally for each one

    • @nebulagames6241 says:

      ​@@lydiacisar6261, “Just Breathe,” by Pearl Jam. I know how tired you are. Your comment just says it. But you’ve got this with God. He’s got you, girl. Don’t you ever forget that. 🙂 ( Also, “Hurry Up And Wait,” by MercyMe)

  • @Nini-ek6on says:

    I learned a long time ago to go to the well of his presence when my soul is weary but lately I haven’t even had much strength or get up and go to do that. Before I watched this message was sitting down trying to get into his presence but my head was hurting from a headache that wouldn’t go away and my thoughts kept wondering to other things and finally I said, “I’m sorry God but I need to watch something to get my mind off this headache.” I turned this message on and right away the presence of the Holy Spirit and worship came on me and I got up and started worshiping and the headache went away almost immediately and I was wondering what had happened and realized that the worship that you all had been in before the message was now in my room even though I didn’t see it live so all I can say is thank you once again for being a conduit of his presence and a blessing in my life.

    • @elevationchurch says:

  • @akhotshona2899 says:

    ive been tired since 2013 when my mother died, this is the seventh year and I really feel like God is letting me rest this year, throughout the whole lockdown I never lacked anything. Amen

  • @chippycess says:

    “Faith doesn’t prevent fatigue. It just gives me a place to sit.” Wow this hit me

  • @sarahbethgraves3528 says:

    I almost gave up tonight, I almost quit on life. Then I looked up I am tired on youtube expecting a sad song and I got this. I don’t know where or how to sit with God but I want to. I want to go straight through instead of around. I want to life, and I want to live my life for Jesus.

    • @jsaetern30 says:

      I’m sorry for your suffering your not alone ever even when you feel like it. I know the feeling. To sit with God, to me, is to just get quiet, go in a room or somewhere alone and just try to feel God. Just start talking to him, out loud even and just pour your heart out, cry, thank Him for anything and everything you can think of in the moment. The times where I feel my lowest like I don’t want to go on I do this. I get on my knees, and just start talking. Saying or thinking how I’m feeling and what’s going on, but always thank Him as well. For me when I start going through and thanking Him (kinda tough when your feeling down I know) it’s so much more healing in the moment then begging for His help, or asking for things. Have a good cry alone and just thank and Praise God. It may not make u feel 100% but it helps. Do this for as long as you need and soon you’ll learn to to call on His presence and just be with Him. Hopes this makes sense and is alil helpful. ♥️🙏 Prayers for you.

    • @mjroberts7605 says:

      I have given up many times suicide attempts od’s and other methods. I was raised in church but addiction and bad choices clouded my spirit. I am here because god has a purpose for me and he has one for u. Be still and know that he is God. Keep building ur relationship with worship and teaching and God’s word. This comment u posted spoke to me. U r not alone. Be blessed

    • @puppetMaster40000 says:

      🙏🙏🙏

    • @angelapope says:

      That’s just what Jesus does! He shows up when we least expect it with exactly what we need and how we need it! He is never late and He never fails us. We all know about a time where darkness seemed bigger than the the light but then Holy Spirit shows up on the scene like Superman ; to save the day and to rescue His children! What an awesome God. Amen!
      ! I never regret surrendering my life to Him! My prayer is If there is any way within me Lord that does not give you glory, take it Jesus. Love you sister in Christ🙏🏾🙌🏽♥️

    • @tru2theLord says:

      Amen! The most awesome thing is your surrender! God speaks to and ministers to us all differently so there is no ONE way. I praise God for your thirst. Do what you did, look for His word in messages and you will began to build the relationship you desire😊❤

  • @Best_Playlist_Of_Gospel_2 says:

    I suffered from infertility tried for so many years to get pregnant. I always prayed to god to please bless me with a child. I was watching a mother play with her son on tik tok one day I cried and screamed to God “God please give me a child!!!!!” that same day something in me told me to take a pregnancy test… it came back positive! I couldnt believe it I was in tears and in shock!I took more pregnancy tests and they all came back positive! A week after I found out I was pregnant I found a cross necklace a few steps away from where I worked at and I then knew it was really God all along and never left my side. I now have a 11 month healthy beautiful baby boy. He’s turning 1 in a few days! ❤ God is good!💜Amen🙏🏾
