Episode Notes:

Have you ever felt emotionally numb?

Like you're just going through the motions… forcing your way through the day… overwhelmed by circumstances that seem bigger than you?

In this episode of Morning Light, Mike Franklin speaks directly to those moments when you feel drained, dismayed, and emotionally spent. When expectations are heavy. When you don't even know what you're feeling anymore. When you just want the circumstance to change.

Drawing from Isaiah 30:15, Mike reminds us of God's clear prescription:

"In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and confidence shall be your strength."

Instead of overscheduling, overperforming, dropping boundaries, or trying to force solutions, God invites us to:

• Return to Him

• Rest in Him

• Trust Him in quiet confidence

This message addresses the common but dangerous patterns of burnout—poor time management, toxic relationships, unresolved grief, unrealistic expectations—and points us back to the only lasting source of peace.

You'll also hear the promise of Isaiah 26:3:

"You will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You."

If you feel overwhelmed, numb, or emotionally exhausted, this episode is a reminder that you are not alone—and that strength is found not in pushing harder, but in returning to Christ.

Grace, peace, and renewed strength are still available.
