There is ALWAYS something going on. We have work, the kids have practices, homework, or just chores around the house. In between that we have conversations and we "must" check Facebook.. Right? As it turns out even our days off of work are filled with errands and things to get done. I have come to realize that as a culture, we are driving ourselves to exhaustion..
I have something to say that you may enjoy.. It is okay to nap. As I travel and live day to day life I have figured out that my biggest temptations always seem to attack when I am indeed tired. Whether we get irritable and angry when we are tired or become full of lust I want you to know there is a way out.
There comes a time where it is okay to turn off and rest. Go towards the only one who can bring you true refreshing.
We run and run and eventually "run out". I urge you to just reflect and see what you spend your time on.. Is it worth it? Does it bring life into your walk? Recharge in God and continue to seek Him through prayer, community, and His word.
God has brought you here today. Right here. We all are walking through different things but God calls us all to the same thing. Lean in to Him and believe. Faith can move mountains and I believe that same faith can take your addiction to porn, your hate in your heart, it can heal those scars, and it can renew you! My prayer today is that you can be refreshed, recharged, and renewed only through God. He is the only one who can truly promise these in our lives. So I pray as we walk through life we won't forget to rest. It's a walk not a sprint. God has big things for you, and He can't fully do it if you are exhausted all the time. "6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4: 6-7 Don't worry. Pray about everything! And the peace of God, which is better than knowing everything. Will what? That is right, guard your heart and your mind! I don't know about you.. But I want that. Let's go get it! "2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ." Philippians 1:2
