Finding Rest in a Busy World
This world is busy, there is always something coming at us. If we are not careful, we can easily be weighed down with burdens. We're not doing enough, our house isn't perfect, our marriage isn't perfects, the list is endless. The world will hold you to impossible standards. If we aren't careful, we can be holding ourselves to these standards without even knowing it. We must remember that we serve a God that tells us to come as we are. He doesn't care if we are popular or perfect, he just wants us to love him as he loves us. God makes it a habit to use people the world doesn't see as perfect. So run to Jesus and let him set your standards. Don't look to things of the world but instead to God. Let him remove your burdens and allow yourself to feel his rest. God gives rest to the weary.
Prayer:
We Love you, Lord. We ask that you help us to fix our eyes on you and your kingdom, not things of this world. We thank you that you are removing our burdens and giving us rest. Help us to draw closer to you, we want to be in your presence Lord. Give us a greater hunger for you and the things of your kingdom, in Jesus name we pray Amen.
