No, G-d is omnipresent, omnipotent, and unrestricted. He doesn't have eye, arms, a body--to limit him. In Genesis where it says "G-d rested on the 7th day..." it isn't correctly interpreted--G-d stopped and looked at the splendor that he created with his words. He had no need for "rest" as we view it with our human minds.

He grows tired of seeing all the mess that humans do. They mess up his perfect world, they throw garbage on the roads, they pollute the air and water and land, they murder each other, they do horrible things to each other. That's what he gets tired of, I'm tired of it too. One day he will say, that's enough, and he'll get rid of all that makes him tired.
P.S. This is what my Bible says at Isaiah 40:28 - "Have you not come to know or have you not heard? Jehovah, the Creator of the extremities of the earth, is a God to time indefinite. He does not tire out or grow weary. There is no searching out of his understanding." Notice it says DOES NOT tire out.

These are old.
---------------------------------
God is tired and rests
"In six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed." [Ex 31:17]
God is never tired and never rests
"The everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary." [Is 40:28]
According to Haley, and many others, the term "rested and was refreshed' is simply a vivid Oriental way of saying that God ceased from the work of creation and took delight in surveying the work....

The answer to this is quite simple just from reading the verses you supply. God gets *tired of* us! He does not get *tired*. Those who understand English realize that these entail two different meanings.

Not physically tired, in my opinion. Those verses mentioning God tiring of something - they don't mean physically tired, they mean he is sick of something. i.e. sick and tired of putting up with something.
Limitations of the english language being highlighted here. We often use the same word for different things.

a million, by fact he won't choose you for believing his lifestyles or no longer, he will choose you for the failings you think of SAY AND DO. Even people who believe law enforcement officers EXIST, nonetheless dedicate crimes. although in the event that they believe that they die in the event that they get shot via a cop. etc. so probability does not paintings. As for the killing etc. interior the view of God who owns the universe, what we view as killing isn't the comparable in his view. are you able to think of the universe being the matrix,. and if he disconnects somone, he basically strikes them from the matrix into eternity. So the place is the homicide in that? precisely, homicide does not follow to him by fact that.. initially. HE OWNS lifestyles. and he owns "THE MATRIX" the universe. so he makes a decision who continues to be in it and who does not and additionally its unlike theres no afterlife. and that he can provide back 1000 fold what human beings lost. and that i advise, how are you gonna be with your loved ones continuously if a million/2 the human beings in the worldwide are immortals ?

God chooses to end his long-suffering, but it's not the same as Him becoming physically tired.

Nope!!!
He never sleeps either!
He made the sabbath and rested after creating the world not because He needed the rest but because He wanted to set an example for us, He knows that we are mortal and our strength is finite we need rest, but He doesn't.
