In a world that never "sleeps" I am starting to feel like I do not either. So much on my mind as of late and I simply am not able to keep up with the constant changes. My mind is blurry from being in overdrive and I pray without ceasing. . .
And then He answers me with a simple word. . . rest.
Psalm 62:1 "My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from Him."
Psalm 91:1 "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty."
Isaiah 32:18 "My people will live in peaceful dwelling places, in secure homes, in undisturbed places of rest."
God intends for us to rest in Him. He tells us repeatedly to cast our cares upon Him. It is not just a coincidence that EVERY book in the Bible has at least one verse dealing with worry/anxiety.
He knew we would have troubles; however, He never intended for us to deal with these burdens alone.
It's raining; it's pouring, the old man is snoring... because he gets that God is in control.
God, take this cup from me as Your word says You will. Take these cares and bless this life in Jesus name.

Ride the storm... like Jesus asleep in the boat.
ReplyDeleteStorms have been raging up my way too, I didnt cope to begin with, but 2 months since it hit, its still there, but upon realisation that there was naught I could do to change it, I have given it to God to deal with, not quite head in the sand stuff, but rather... a realisation that worrying was going to do nothing to help, and I was better off putting and continually putting it into God's hands.
He will calm the storm outside in due time, but he has already calmed the storm within
Praise Him!
I pray that you will find rest and calm soon
Blessings
