Life is not an easy road, but who ever said it was? Compared to a ton of people, I have been blessed beyond belief. I know that the devil attacks my mind to think otherwise. He drags me away from the joy and contentment I have in Christ and pulls me towards all the little things in my life that are not going to plan. When I let him get to me, anxiety comes in and comes fast and hard. Today is one of those days. Everything in my life, stress, drama, guilt all haunt my mind and torture me. My stomach churns inside making me feel sick. I have no drive, no joy, no Jesus. I wallow in the stupid things that with the help of Christ I can overcome. But instead I rest on them and wonder when I will feel better. When those energy and joy-draining thoughts and feelings will deteriorate.
When and if you ever feel this way, I pray that you will remember that Christ knows what you are feeling. He has felt the weight of stress and fear. So much so he cried tears of blood. Because of His perfection, He went to His Father ( who is ours too ;) and asked that if the debt was not His to pay, that the weight would be lifted off by His Father's power.
28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30
