Aug. 18, 2006 - "Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Love, Jesus
After several days of feeling overwhelmed, heavy laden, I cried out to my Lord with prayers requesting His peace and reassurance. My husband prayed over me for that restfulness to come to me and the Lord gave me peace and He gave me rest, as only He can. Not physical rest (that is virtually impossible with a nursing infant who does not yet sleep through the night), but TRUE rest that comes from prayer and meditation, from immersing myself in the Word and allowing the Holy Spirit to refresh my soul.
I believe that sometimes the Lord lets us go through times in our life when we feel overwhelmed. Times when we try to make it on our own, floundering. He watches us, ready to pick us up when we fall. He waits for us to realize that we can not do anything in our own strength and it pleases Him when we cry out to Him for help.
"I can do ALL things THROUGH CHRIST WHO GIVES ME STRENGTH."
- Philippians 4:13
