» overwhelm</h1> <article> <h1>Finding Rest</h1> <p>Jenifer Ward — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 00:06:19 +0000</p> <p>This past week and even today, I have had unrest in my soul that I can’t even put into words. Circumstances and issues just seem to keep flying in my face and there seems to be no rest from them.</p> <p>I have had many a break down and have gone through a good share of Kleenex. I find myself in a panic. Anxiety builds up. My husband was right when he told me I paralyze myself, because I allow all of the “stuff” to overwhelm me, instead of just moving, even if it means baby-steps.</p> <p>I need rest. Life just seems to be crushing me and wearing me out. I am in a daily battle just to keep my eyes and heart focused on the Lord. There has to be some light.</p> <p>Well, there is. God always has a way of bringing me back to Him. I was reading Matthew 11 today, and was reminded in verse 28, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”</p> <p>Boy how I needed that. It was a reminder that no matter what happens or doesn’t happen, God is always there.</p> <p>Are you weary? Are you burdened? Guess who can give you the rest you so desperately need? GOD can and will. He’s waiting.</p> </article> </main></body></html>
