Do you ever feel like you have too much on your plate? Is life throwing obstacles at you that seem insurmountable? The good news is that we can win in any situation when we have God on our side.
The issues we face in life are within or outside our control. We can evaluate them and learn strategies to achieve the best outcome if they are within our control. If they are outside of our control, then we can bring them to God and leave them there. Worrying won’t add a minute to our lives, but it can lead to stress, preventing us from living our lives to the fullest. So, whether we can control a situation or not, we always have an opportunity to overcome our obstacles if we trust in God’s way.
Scripture
“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
Prayer
Dear Lord, thank you for giving us options regarding things we control and those we don’t. Please grant us the wisdom and courage to change what we can and give us the ability to trust you with the things we cannot change. Either way, we seek your guidance and can have peace with the outcome through our actions and faith. In Jesus’ name, we humbly ask for these things. Amen.
