    About this ebook

    It's time to quit the unsustainable pace of life we find ourselves in and receive God's gift of realistic rest.

    In Tired of Being Tired, bestselling author and speaker Jess Connolly offers good news to soul-weary women: there is a better way, and it is yours for the taking. In this companion study guide, you'll discover practical ways to apply the biblical truths that will change your life.

    You can break the cycle of living like you're constantly on the hook and come to Jesus to find rest for your weary and burdened soul. This study guide will show you how to implement new rhythms and relational patterns so that you can experience the abundant life God intended for you--in your life today, not just some unreachable future.

      How to Use This Guide

      This guide was created to accompany the book Tired of Being Tired: Receive God’s Realistic Rest for Your Soul-Deep Exhaustion. While you can complete the guide without reading the book, I recommend enhancing your experience by pairing them together.

      Each session of the guide correlates with a few chapters of Tired of Being Tired. If you’re reading as an individual, take your time. Read, reflect, and respond in a way that embodies the very rest you hope to find in these pages.

      If you are reading in a group, have an honest conversation with one another about the pace that will work best for each of you. If a six-week structure is too short a time frame for everyone to stay on top of reading and reflecting, consider a twelve- or even eighteen-week structure. The heart of the book and study guide is to help one another find rest, not to increase burdens or to-do lists. Choose a structure that infuses grace and peace into the group before you even begin to read or meet.

      Session Structure

      This guide contains six sessions, each with the following sections:

      A Note from Jess

      Savor the Scripture

      Read and Reflect

      Guided Journaling

      Symptom Checker

      Low Power Mode Plan

      Set the Script

      Community Questions

      Prayer

      The Community Questions sections assume that you’re completing the study in a group setting, such as a Bible study, community group, or book club. If you’re reading and studying independently, feel free to answer those questions on your own!

      For Group Leaders

      If you are facilitating a group of women working through this study guide, first of all, thank you! While I celebrate those who choose to read individually, I have a great love for the conversations and healing I know can take place when women gather to read, study,
