In English, tired sounds physical. Something rest should fix. But Isaiah uses the word ya’ef. It means deep weariness of the soul. Ya’ef appears when strength has been spent over time. Not suddenly. Not dramatically. Just slowly. This kind of tiredness scares believers. Because it feels spiritual. And shameful. Scripture does not shame it. It names it. Ya’ef reminds us that being tired of believing does not mean you stopped believing. It may mean you’ve been faithful for a very long time. #BibleStudy #HebrewWord #SpiritualFatigue #FaithAndAging #ChristianComfort
