Rest in Him
This week, I’m struggling not to feel overwhelmed. I have so much to do in the next two weeks and I just “know” that it won’t all get done or that I’ll forget something major which will stress others which will add to the stress I’m already under. Pause. Take a deep breath. Start chipping away at my to-do list.
Why is it so easy to get stressed and so hard to remember to trust God to give us strength and wisdom for each task He asks us to do? I’m struggling not to be stressed but I know God’s grace is sufficient. He knew I would need to take a couple days off last week to attend a funeral. He knows what I absolutely NEED to accomplish in two weeks and which things can wait until I return from my trip.
He knows the plans He has for me so why am I so slow to ask Him, or at least slow to listen? Sometimes I ask but I end up getting back to my busyness before I hear Him answer. The fact is that life will continue at a fast pace and will spiral out of control if I let it. My job is to be still, know He is God and rest in Him. He has a plan and He will lead me in that plan if I will but look to Him and give Him my burden. Sounds good to me. I’d rather not carry it any longer anyway.
Thank You, Father, that I don’t have to figure this out on my own. You will go before me to accomplish the work You’ve given me to do. I need only to look to You and You will complete it.
