Hey everyone. I wonder, are some of you feeling drained or burned out? Well, if life has left you feeling empty, you're in the right place. Because today on Pastor Rick's Daily Hope, we're bringing our exciting series called Running on Empty to a close. Now, in this series, Rick Warren shares how faith can refresh your spirit,

restore your strength, and bring new energy to your life. So please don't miss this

inspiring message of renewal and hope. Okay, and now, here's Rick with the final part of a message

called Rebuilding Your Life when you've lost everything.

You release your grief, you resist bitterness, you reevaluate your life.

The fourth thing you do after a major loss is you receive help from others.

Receive help from others.

God never intended for you to go through life on your own power as a lone ranger without

anybody else helping you.

You were made inadequate so you would need other people.

And I was created inadequate so I would need other people.

God wired the universe that

were created for community. We're formed for a family. We're made for fellowship. You need me.

And I need you. And we need each other. And you need other people in your life. Now, you don't

need a whole bunch of friends. You don't need 100 friends. You just need four or five really good ones who are going to

stick with you when you lose everything. How do you know who those people are? Well, you've got to

get close to them. You see, it's an amazing thing that happens when you lose a loved one or you're in the hospital for a while.

Who shows up and who doesn't?

It's very interesting.

Because a lot of times the people you think are your friends, they don't show up when you're in the crisis.

And then when you're in the crisis, some people show up that you didn't really think cared that much at all.

And they're there.
