Peace and rest
Dear God, Please help me. I need some rest, and I need the constant worry and anxiety to pause for just a little while. I am so tired from carrying so much around with me, but every time I try to hand it over to you; I just end up snatching it back. Please help me to let go of the need to solve every problem. Please help me to release the desire to try to keep every bad thing I can imagine from happening. Help me to trust you with all of the things. Help me to give you guardianship of my children. Help me to give you Lordship over my appetite. Help me to give you all of the difficult and hurtful people and all of their nasty words. Help me to live in this day, instead of the “what ifs” of the future. Help me to be faithful. Help me to see you, everywhere. Help me to be okay right in the mess and the beauty that I am in right now.
