This post was such a thoughtful reminder that “tired” is rarely just about needing more sleep. I really loved the question, “What kind of tired?” because it made me stop and think about how often I answer “I’m fine” or “just tired” without really understanding what’s underneath it. As someone who lives with a physical disability, I’ve had to learn that not all exhaustion is visible, and not all tiredness can be fixed with rest alone. Sometimes it’s physical, but often it’s emotional, mental, and even spiritual. Your breakdown of the seven types of exhaustion put words to something many of us feel but struggle to explain.
I also appreciated the reminder that God meets us in the specific places of our weariness, not with a one size fits all answer, but with care for the exact kind of tired we are carrying. That brought a lot of comfort. Thank you for writing something so honest and practical.
Hi Ally, thank you for the kind words and reading my article. I’m grateful that it resonated with you. I confess that it was an eye opener for me as well. I pray for your strength through the emotional and physical exhaustion.
There is more to come on this, so I hope you continue to find relevance and comfort in these articles. Blessings, Tina💖
This speaks so deeply. We often try to untangle our exhaustion by ourselves, but God sees the threads we can’t. There’s such peace in letting Him reveal what’s true.
This really opened my eyes! I never thought about the subject of exhaustion like this! Thank you for sharing this! I usually just think, wow I'm really tired! And walk away, but breaking down like this was really helpful!
Laura, thank you for reading the article. I’m so glad to hear that it resonated with you. For me, it was an eye opener as well. It’s a nice to put a name on it. Keep coming back, there will be more to follow💖
Good way to look at “tiredness.” It comes in so many forms and if we can identify it we will know what type of rest we need as well.

So very true. It keeps coming back to ‘but God.’
