Weariness (or can't be bothered to come up with a title)

This week I have been weary and tired. Partly I think this is due to migraines and headaches making me physically tired and nauseous.  But I am also mentally weary as well.  In these moments, Scripture speaks to the heart, doesn't it?


Let us not become weary in doing good, 
for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people,
 especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
Galatians 6:9-10

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, 
let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. 
And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,  
fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. 
For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, 
and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 
Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, 
so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
Hebrews 12:1-3

 I read these versus and ponder them.  I am in a race and working for the glory of Jesus.  In my weariness, I want to turn to Jesus and rest in Him.  March 1st is the beginning of Lent and I am going to do a Lenten Scripture reading plan.  During these next weeks, I hope to fall in love anew with Jesus and the wonder of who He is and His death for all of this.  In this meditation, I hope to be renewed to run the race with increased vigor.
