It is our best work that God wants, not the dregs of our exhaustion. I think he must prefer quality to quantity.

I look back on tremendous efforts & exhaustion & dismal looking out of a tent door on to a dismal world of snow and vanishing hopes.

When mental [illness] increases until it reaches the danger point, do not exhaust yourself by efforts to trace back to original causes. Better accept them as inevitable and save your strength to fight against the effects.

You’re through. Finished. Burned out. Used up. You’ve been replaced. . . forgotten. That’s a lie!

It is impossible to get exhausted in work for God. We get exhausted because we try to do God’s work in our own way.

At the moment when you feel like you have reached the point of absolute exhaustion, inspire yourself to take one last step, and that is when you have successfully arrived to the next level.
