Why Am I Always Cold, Achy, and Tired? It’s More Than You Think.

Even the smallest flame can warm what’s been cold for too long. Tend to it. Protect it. Let it grow.

If you're looking for a sugar-coated message today, this may not be the post for you. For too long, I’ve watched—myself included—friends, family, and even clients brush off physical discomforts with excuses. Most of the time, it’s not because we don’t care. It’s because we’ve been taught to push through, to ignore it, or to think we’re just being weak. But a lot of that comes from a place of burnout; or, just not having the will left to do anything about it.

If you’ve ever dealt with deep aches in your joints, a constant chill in your limbs, dry, cracking skin, or pain that feels stuck in one spot, it might be more than “just getting older” or “just the weather.”

Let me be clear — what you feel in your body is real. The pain, the fatigue, the coldness, the stiffness — it’s not in your head. If you've been diagnosed with hypothyroidism, anemia, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, Raynaud’s disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, or anything else — I believe you. By no means am I saying that your doctor is wrong. These are real conditions that deserve attention and care.

But what I am saying is this: you don’t have to stop there.

You do not have to hold the crutch of the illness as if relief and self-healing is not possible.

In John 5:5-9, we meet a man who had been sick for thirty-eight years. He lay by the pool of Bethesda, waiting, stuck, unable to move forward. When Jesus saw him, He asked:

“Do you want to be made well?” (John 5:6, NKJV)

The man explained why he couldn’t. How no one would help him. How others always got ahead of him. Sound familiar?

But Jesus didn’t say, “Okay, just stay there.” He looked at this man who had been stuck for almost four decades and simply said:

“Rise, take up your bed and walk.” (John 5:8)

And the man did. He got up. He moved. He walked into a new season of life.

This is not just a Bible story—it’s a picture of hope for all of us. Yes, your condition is real. But so is your ability to heal, to rise, and to take the next step forward—with the help of God and the tools He’s given us through nature.

Warming your body and spirit doesn’t have to be complicated. It starts with faith—your true belief that God can and will heal you. Then comes desire—the confession you make to begin your healing and restoration. And finally, Action!

Here are a few simple, gentle ways to begin rekindling your internal warmth using a few tools God has provided through nature:

• A body soak using herbs and salts that bring warmth and stimulate circulation.

• Aromatherapy with oils known to awaken energy and promote flow.

• A warm compress placed on the area that aches or feels frozen in place.

• A cup of tea that supports digestion and your internal fire — sipped slowly and prayerfully.

Many people expect healing to come through something fancy or majestic. But the Word of God shows us that healing—while it is a process—often begins with simple, intentional acts.

Your signs of coldness aren’t something to be ashamed of. They’re not a sign of weakness. They’re not proof that you’re broken.

They’re signs of self-awareness. And that’s powerful.

Being aware means you now have the opportunity to tend to it. You have the power to fan your flame.

God gave us fire for a reason—not just physical warmth, but spiritual passion and healing. Coldness may come, but it doesn’t have to stay.

If this message speaks to something you’re feeling in your body or spirit, I’d be honored to walk with you as you begin tending your flame again. You don’t have to figure it all out on your own.

With humility and prayer,
