Sharpen Your Ax: The Intercessor's Guide to Avoiding Burnout

the Self-Care manual for Intercessors to Pray effectively without getting drained

A lot of intercessors are suffering from burnout and depression.
You don’t have to be one of them.

You need a healthy prayer-life balance

When you’re the go-to person everyone relies on to “get a prayer through,” it won’t be long before you’re burned out. You need a strategy to maintain a healthy balance between your prayer life and the rest of your life.

Sharpen Your Ax will help you:

  • Reconnect with God so prayer doesn’t feel like work
  • Focus so you don’t wear yourself out with the wrong prayer assignments
  • Take a break from endless prayer requests without feeling guilty
  • Have a life and a prayer life you can enjoy

Break free from a people-driven prayer life, and step into your intercessory calling as God intended it to be.

Hi, my name is Aleathea, and I'm a former burned out intercessor.

I know what it feels like to spend all your time interceding for other people and feel like you need a break!

I was the leader of a nationwide intercessory prayer ministry that received requests from around the world—all hours of the day and night. And I felt a personal obligation to pray for every request.

Like you, I struggled with trying to find a balance between my intercessory prayer life and the rest of my life. I was so preoccupied with everyone else’s requests that I ignored the repeated demands for rest that were coming from my own spirit, soul, and body.

Prayer started to feel like work, and it wasn’t long before I felt disconnected, depressed, and completely drained!

It took me a while to recover, but when I did, I learned some life-changing lessons that will help you to be a more effective intercessor and not get worn out!

Now, I don’t pray harder; I pray smarter, and I’ve helped thousands of intercessors do the same. I believe you will be one of them

What Intercessors are saying

Good for Ministry Self-Care!
This book should be a manual for all intercessors and anyone in ministry. It has become my self-care defense for ministry.

Dr. A. Kimble
Licensed Clinical Pastoral Therapist
Essential!
Forces intercessors to pull back the curtain to achieve a total vulnerability before God once again and reconnect to the privilege and honor of the call to bring others before the throne.
Rev. Dr. L. Reeves
A Book for Every Intercessor
Many of us intercessors practice the learned behavior of praying for everyone who asks us to pray. We never think that "boundaries will keep us out of a casket."
C. Williams
Grief Recovery Specialist

The Bible says that men ought always to pray and not faint. If you’re not praying, you’re fainting.

Pro. Uebert Angel

When you get burned out, your prayer life and God's Agenda does too.

God needs intercessors to stand in the gap, especially in times like these. The problem is, when He needs you to pray, you’re too weary, tired, and worn out to respond.

Burnout is the worst thing that can happen to you as an intercessor because it makes you:

  • Mentally and physically exhausted
  • Lose the joy of your calling and makes prayer feel like work
  • Miss out on intimacy with God
  • Unmotivated 
  • Pray out of routine, duty, and obligation
  • Frustrated because you’re not walking in the fullness of your calling
  • Feel burdened and overwhelmed
  • Ineffective

It shouldn’t be this way. Imagine a prayer life that refreshes you, realigns your focus, and reignites the fire of your intercessory calling. It’s possible, and it’s what God wants for you.

Excellent!
You taught me about soul ties in intercession. That has never been in any books, and much more did I learn.

A much-needed gift.
Although I am a seasoned intercessor, this book resonated with me on so many levels. I really needed this book at this time in my life... It helped me rest in God even more.

God knows what you need.
I must admit that I currently feel a slight level of exhaustion & weariness from the "grind" of life and a need to be refreshed. What better time to read this book.
