Day 3 – The Danger of Numbness

Scripture:
“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”
— Proverbs 4:23

Devotional Thought:
Burnout doesn’t always look like chaos—it can look like numbness. You may still pray, still read your Bible, still show up in church, but your heart feels disengaged. You go through the motions, but the joy and intimacy are missing. That’s a dangerous place, because numbness quietly drains life from your soul.

But here’s the hope: God doesn’t want your rituals—He wants your heart alive. Even if you feel cold today, He can warm your heart again. He can melt through the layers of apathy and reignite passion for His presence. The fact that you’re reading this devotional is already proof that He’s drawing you closer.

Prayer:
Father, don’t let me settle for a numb heart. Stir me again with passion for You. Awaken my soul to Your presence and make me alive in You. Amen.

Reflection/Action Step:
Be honest with yourself today. In what area of your walk with God have you gone numb—prayer, worship, scripture, serving? Write it down and ask God to breathe life into it again.
