For I am ready to fall, and my sorrow is continually before me. For I will declare my iniquity; I will be in anguish over my sin. But my enemies are vigorous, and they are strong; and those who hate me wrongfully have multiplied. Those also who render evil for good, they are my adversaries, because I follow what is good. Psalm 38:17-20
For I am ready to fall, and my sorrow is continually before me. For I will declare my iniquity; I will be in anguish over my sin.

Psalm 38:17-20
David was at the brink of destruction with his sin ever before him and his enemies surrounding him! He had fought many battles since his youth, and through the years, he grew tired and beat down, wanting to rest! Not wanting to go to war again, he let his guard down.
I know what that's like in ministry when you are worn down with the work at hand and the constant pressure of praying in funds to continue! You may be tired, but the devil never stops with his attacks against you; he is always trying to destroy the ministry God has given you!
When you feel like quitting, or you are so tired you can't continue, stop, take a deep breath, and rest in the Lord. He is faithful to restore you and energize you, lest you fall into sin like David! Don't ever be pressured with guilt, after all, it's not your ministry, it's His!
Do not forsake me, O LORD; O my God, be not far from me! Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation! Psalm 38:21-22
