Where's Your ENERGY?
Oct 07, 2025
Ever have one of those days when you want to go do something—work out, clean the garage, meet a friend—but you just… can’t?
You sit there staring into space, wondering, “Where did it go?!?”
You remember when you used to have energy—you hiked, you played with your kids, you stayed up laughing with friends, you knocked out to-do lists like a boss.
But now? It feels like you’re running on a quarter tank, and life is demanding full throttle.
Energy—it’s that invisible force that fuels everything we do. It’s what makes life feel alive! But it’s not just physical.
There’s mental energy (your focus), emotional energy (your mood), spiritual energy (your connection to God), and relational energy (the vibe between you and others).
When one runs low, the rest start sputtering too.
Even Jesus had to manage His energy.
He healed crowds, led disciples, faced critics, and carried the weight of the world—literally!
Yet He often withdrew to quiet places to pray, rest, and refuel. He stayed full by staying connected to His Father.
That’s how He kept His compassion, His clarity, and His courage.
In Bruce D. Schneider’s book Energy Leadership, he talks about four major energy drains that suck the life out of us:
-
Victim mentality – believing life happens to you.
-
Conflict and blame – getting stuck in negativity.
-
Fear and doubt – focusing on what could go wrong.
-
Control and resistance – forcing outcomes instead of trusting God.
Sound familiar?
These drains slowly empty your tank until you’re running on fumes. The antidote? Shift your mindset. Choose gratitude.
Take ownership. Release control. Trust God’s timing.
Experts will tell you the best way to recharge is with sleep, exercise, or mindfulness—and they’re right!
But as Christians, we’ve got access to something even better: the Source of all energy. Isaiah 40:31 says, “Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.”
So if you’ve been running on low, maybe it’s time to plug back into the right Source—and get your spark back.
Coaching can help you relieve stress, realign your focus, and refuel your tank. Less stress means more energy.
More energy means more joy, purpose, and presence.
