I remember laying on my floor on the dorm room during nursing school, desperately drinking my second or third energy drink of the day to say awake to study, praying “Lord, there has to be a better way.”
My hands were shaking, my heart was racing, and I felt foggy and depleted, I wondered if I was going to have a heart attack. I was caught in a cycle of artificial highs and crushing crashes that left me feeling like a shadow of myself.
Fast forward to after graduation, and I was working in the emergency department and we would actually have patients come that were so jacked up on energy drinks that it was life threatening. This stuff was so toxic! Talk about hell in a bottle.
Maybe you can relate to that desperate search for sustainable energy. Between ministry commitments, family responsibilities, and trying to stay faithful to your calling, it’s easy to fall into depending on whatever will keep you going – even when you know it’s not God’s best for your temple.
The Hidden Cost of Quick Energy Fixes
What the Lord revealed to me through intense prayer and study was eye-opening: those artificial energy boosters weren’t just masking my fatigue – they were actually making it worse. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 reminds us that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. Yet I was filling mine with substances that were throwing my blood sugar into chaos and depleting my adrenal system.
The breakthrough came when I started researching God’s natural medicine cabinet – the incredible plants and herbs He created for our wellbeing. I discovered that sustainable energy isn’t about stimulation – it’s about nourishment.
God’s Design for Natural Energy
Here’s what changed everything for me: I learned that true energy comes from supporting our body’s own systems, not overriding them. The Lord showed me specific plants like yerba mate (packed with 24 vitamins and minerals) and cinnamon (which helps maintain healthy blood sugar) that work WITH our bodies instead of against them.
When we align with God’s design, incredible things happen. By switching to natural plant-based energy support, I experienced:
- Steady, sustained energy without the crashes
- Mental clarity that lasts throughout the day
- Better blood sugar balance and fewer cravings
- Improved digestion and immune function
A Testament to His Faithfulness
Sisters, I give God all the glory for leading me to a better way. Now I can serve in my motherhood ministry, support my family, and fulfill my calling without the constant struggle against fatigue. My testimony is that when we seek His wisdom for our health, He is faithful to provide solutions that honor our bodies as His temple.
If you’re tired of the energy drink cycle and ready to discover God’s natural design for sustained vitality, I’d love to share more about the natural solution that transformed my life. You can learn more about CinnaMÄte here.
