God loves you. He will give you the strength and help you need. He has given you family, friends, a church, and a community who would love to help step up and ease the load. There are many others who are in your shoes, who have gone through burnout too.
The Bible shares the stories of a few people who experienced serious burnout. Both Moses and Elijah were so burned out at various points in their lives that they asked God to end their lives. However, God gave them rest and refreshment, and sustained them. He brought others into their lives to provide aide. You can read their stories in Numbers 11 and 1 Kings 19.
God has given you a love letter—His Word—that shares those stories and many verses of encouragement for those who are facing burnout and exhaustion. He promises to be with us, never to leave us, and to strengthen and carry us.
Hebrews 13:5
"Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”
