A tired soul can’t be fixed with a nap. Sometimes it needs silence and a Savior.

Some tiredness is physical and sleep fixes it. The other kind survives a full night and a weekend, because it is not really about hours. A soul running on empty needs quiet and it needs God, and neither arrives while you fill every gap with noise. Rest and distraction are not the same thing, though they use the same free time.

Notice which sort of tired you are before you reach for your phone. If it is the deeper one, try fifteen minutes of actual silence with God rather than another episode. The nap can still happen afterwards.
