“Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” – Matthew 11:28 (CSB)
Burnout often creeps in unnoticed, leaving us drained and unable to give our best. Jesus offers us a remedy: rest in Him. As we serve in worship ministry, we must be attentive to our spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being, ensuring we’re not pouring out from an empty cup. This week, let’s reflect on the importance of recognizing burnout and turning to Jesus for renewal.
For musicians, burnout can manifest as a loss of joy in playing or feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities. Take time this week to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the heart of worship—serving God with your music out of love, not obligation.
For the tech team, burnout often results from long hours and high-pressure situations. Rest is vital to maintaining focus and excellence in your role. Trust that stepping back to recharge is part of honoring God with your work.
