Exhausted is one of the best things a Christian can be. Exhaustion is a consciousness of one's powerlessness to make any more progress. But in truth, we are always powerless, because without Jesus we can do nothing (cf John 15:5). Therefore to be exhausted is to be closer to the reality of our human frailty, and therefore it is an opportunity to become more reliant on God. So invite him into your exhaustion. Invite him into your powerlessness, and see what the one with whom anything is possible can do even through a paragon of impotence like you and me.
