October 3, 2023

Sometimes, I get so tired of life, I just want to sit down and say, “Wait a minute—I need to catch my breath. There is just too much going on.” But I don’t stop, I just keep going, keeping my feeling to myself—talking to God—crying out in my pain! I believe, we all have been there. All I know, is when I pray to the LORD God Almighty, sharing my pain with Him, it helps. One of my prayers is, “I can’t do this. You are going to have to do this for me.” Then peace comes over me and I know that God is there helping me in that moment. Now I might have to say the prayer over again a couple of more times, but I have found the more I turn the situation over to God the better it goes. Matthew 11:28-30 reads, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” God is there. He is always there. All we need to do is turn to Him. God Bless. Amen.
