I think it's safe to say that we have all been under a lot of stress and anxiety lately, a stream of unrelenting pressure from which there seems to be little to no relief. I hope the words shared here today will help us all find both encouragement and peace in the midst of our struggles. I believe the Lord wants us to rest in Him...let go, shake off our troubles and learn how to relax even during challenging and difficult circumstances. God, Himself rested on the seventh day! How can I rest, you might ask. Well, that looks different for everyone, but what I do know is that our very survival depends on us taking a break from the stresses that are weighing us down, lest we become easy prey for the enemy to attack us. We owe it to ourselves to take a step back, a step away and allow ourselves some time to be refreshed and recharged. Yes, the issues and cares may still be there when we come back, but at least we can view them from a new and different perspective, with new strength and new eyes. Lord, I pray that You will give us the wisdom to relax and enjoy the abundant life You have for each of us. Help us to cast our cares and worries on You, to be free from anxiety. Lord, we believe that You will give us renewed strength, energy and vision! Amen!
From My ❤to your❤
