Work is consuming my whole life. Where do I find strength?

Ask for strength — and then ask the harder question of whether you are asking God to help you sustain something that should not be sustained. Exhaustion is information. Pray for the rest you will not let yourself take, and for the courage to take it. Most people burning out know exactly what they should stop doing and cannot say it aloud. Say it to God first.

The tradition guards menuchah — rest, the Sabbath pause — as a commandment, not a reward for finishing. It is not laziness; it is the design.
