🙏 Begin with prayer
Prayer is the first remedy, not the last resort. Whether you are facing this yourself, caring for someone who is, or simply reading to understand — here is a simple prayer you are welcome to make your own, in your name or in theirs:
Father, thank You for eleuthero root, once called Siberian ginseng, traditionally used for stamina and steadiness through long stretches of stress and fatigue. Those who wait upon You renew their strength and run without growing weary, and I ask for that renewal in my own tired body. Bless this root gently, and give me wisdom to notice if it disturbs my sleep or mood. In Jesus' name, Amen.
“But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”— Isaiah 40:31
