Whether we use the word &#8220;burnout&#8221; or not, we\u2019ve all either personally been in that place or seen others display the warning signs of enthusiasm turning to jaded-ness or optimism fading to cynicism. In the worst-case scenarios, we\u2019ve also watched people we know leaving the church or team in a state of disappointment with the people and leaders.<\/p><p>So how do we stay spiritually healthy as we serve the body of Christ in our local churches?<\/p><p>After all, many of us want to serve. We want to be part of what God is doing in our communities. We want to make a difference where we\u2019re at and we\u00a0<em>know<\/em>\u00a0that God has placed us in a position to do so.<\/p><p>Here are 7 tips to stay healthy and have longevity in ministry.

Because we know we are good at what we do. We are the get-things-done people. But being good doesn\u2019t make us right.

Isn\u2019t that how people burn out in the first place?<\/p><p>Most certainly not. The same way we aren\u2019t perfect, the teams and the leaders we serve with and under won\u2019t be too.<\/p><p>But when we find ourselves getting angry at others, at ourselves, or at the \u201csystem\u201d for being the reason why we\u2019re not seeing the success we want, are we then placing our expectations on the Lord (because after all, this is His church we\u2019re talking about), or on the system and circumstances that man creates to work in our favor?<\/p><p>Taking a position of humility doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t have dreams. It just means we trust less in our ability to strive our dreams into being, but more in His ability to bring our dreams to pass in a restful way.<\/p><p>If you find yourself constantly thinking of things that need to be better in your team in your local church, don\u2019t get jaded or give up. There is no perfect church. Every church is always growing, every church has parts of it that can be improved on. A wise man once said, \u201cIf you have more achievements than you have dreams, you\u2019re getting old.\u201d<\/p><p>The church of Christ is always growing, so there will always be room for improvements. Don\u2019t be discouraged if you\u2019re not there yet.<\/p><p>Be bold to dream, to pray, to expect, to hope, and to desire more, but keep your heart focused on the Lord and not on the dream.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0acda84 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0acda84\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"36\" data-lineheight=\"43.2px\">#7.

It\u2019s not about how bright you blaze (and burn out), but being a sustainable and reliable light in the darkness.<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p>Proverbs 24:10 reads, in The Message version, \u201cIf you fall to pieces in a crisis, there wasn\u2019t much to you in the first place.\u201d<\/p><p>Don\u2019t have a ministry that is constantly in \u201cnitro\u201d mode.

Knowing that you don\u2019t need to overextend yourself to prove anything to anyone. That there\u2019s no point being the one-hit wonder if you\u2019re too burned out to do anything else for the next 3 years after, or if the people who had to work with you secretly hope they\u2019ll never have to do so again.<\/p><p>Instead, have a ministry that\u2019s like this verse in the Psalms:<\/p><p>\u201cEven when their paths wind through the dark valley of tears, they dig deep to find a pleasant pool where others find only pain. He gives to them a brook of blessing filled from the rain of an outpouring.\u201d (Ps. 84:6 TPT)<\/p><p>Have a ministry that is so anchored and washed by the Spirit that even in the valley where everyone else can only see darkness, you will enjoy the cool refreshing blessings of being in His shelter. That when everyone else is feeling the heat, your ministry can be a refuge for others even in the day of despair. This doesn\u2019t mean that you\u2019re not faced with pressure, deadlines, or interesting limitations. Every creative has enough of a masochistic streak to enjoy a good challenge.
