He sent fire down from heaven that burns through my bones and wins every time. He set a trap right where I walk, turned me around when I tried to move forward. He left me completely alone and exhausted, and that's how I feel every single day.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Sometimes it feels like God has you trapped and burning from the inside out — and that exhaustion is real.
