Ease your Burden

Dependence on God

"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life,

what you will eat [or drink], or about your body,

what you will wear.  Is not life more than food

and the body more than clothing?"

Can any of you by worrying add a single

moment to your life-span?

But seek first the Kingdom [of God] 

and his righteousness, and all these things 

will be given you besides.

Matthew 7: 25,27,33

I know what the burden of worry can do to me.  I loose sleep at night, I am in a constant state of stress, I anger easily, and have a sharp tongue.  All of these things keep me from living the life God has planned for me.  All of these things end up hurting the people I love the most.

A huge weight was lifted when I began to pray and ask God for help with all my worries.  God doesn't want us to do things alone.  He wants us to ask for help.  God wants us to have faith in the plans he has for us.  Don't think you can take it all on yourself, because you can't.  None of us can. 

I give all my worries to God.  This eases my burden and allows me to sleep at night, stress less, be slow to anger, and speak kind words. 

What burdens you today? Give all your worries to God so he can ease your burden.

Many Blessings,

Linda
