Our (ex) Pastor, Rog, talked about his burnout / hit-the-wall / depression & 3 things that helped him
#1 remember Gods.promises
#2 remember when God has worked in your life
and
#3. How important it is to let 2-3 people in ur life who u trust who will support you.
If u r that support person be prepared for the long haul, turn up unannounced sometimes, dont put pressure on to talk, just be there, do things with that person in their area of interest...and listen when they want to talk.
Be Jesus hands to bind up the broken hearted.
Psalm 147:3 NIV
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

...four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They couldn't bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, so they dug a hole through the roof above his head. Then they lowered the man on his mat, right down in front of Jesus... Mark 2:3-4 NLT Great account of inventiveness and determination to get their friend to see Jesus. Love this. Do you wonder about the back story? Are these the same 4 people who bring this man food? Take him to the toilet every day. Clean him up. Does he live with one of them? Are they family? Are there whole families or groups of people in the background who have supported and cared for this man? A group of children who grew up seeing their parents love in action? Probably. Healing Help Hope These things are found in community. These 4 guys are the heroes here. The upfront people. One day it will be interesting to see who the background heroes are. #loveinaction #community #inthistogether #walkingeachotherhome #gospelofmark
