Sometimes when I come to write on this blog, I have no clue what I'm going to write specifically on or I have a clue and I go on some tangent. Other times, I feel like I have a topic on point then I have no depth. Others, I just go stream of consciousness because I have too much on mind.
Today, I have too much on my mind but I'm not sure how I want to state it or how deeply I want to state.
Sometimes, I ask myself and God many, many questions. To me, they are scary questions pertaining to my present and future life. Many times, God tells me to stop trying to do everything myself and to just follow him.
I'm such a stubborn fellow that God's explanation does not compute until I've learned a lesson. This week, I learned (yet again) that God wants us to rest and have a relaxed, friendly manner instead of being so busy or acting like we are so busy to other people like friends. Example - I'm behind on a work schedule and voila, he provides an extension when I thought there was none. He will provide and yet I can be the doubting Thomas, the Israelite in the wilderness, or Lot trying to save Sodom and Gomorrah all in one.
Giving it all up to God is what I struggle with. I want to stop struggling with self-induced stress so I need to let go and let God. I do not have control of any situation. God has full control. He's the captain and I've got to be a willing crew member of his battleship.
Jesus, take the helm of this ship. Let me be guided by you and no one else. I need not be exhausted any more because you say in Matthew 11:28-30 - “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” I need you and nothing else.
