As women, we are multitaskers. We can talk on the phone while folding laundry. We can empty a dishwasher while planning meals for next week. We can work while making vacation plans. We can put on makeup while putting on our shoes. More often than not we are always doing more than one thing at a time. We always yes, and sometimes that means that we take on too much. Life can get overwhelming. There are just those days when you feel like everything is closing in on you. When the laundry piles up, the house needs to be cleaned, and the to-do list is longer than a CVS receipt.
Unfortunately, there are very few people who can drop everything and head out for a spa day, or a mini-vacay with the girls every time life gets overwhelming. So what do you do when life throws you an overwhelming curveball? You know what I’m going to say, don’t you? You pray!
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 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. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30 (NIV)
Lord, you’ve promised if I ask, not only will you take my burdens upon you, but you will teach me how to find rest for my soul. My soul craves that right now--yet everywhere I turn I find something else to worry about. Lord, show me your ways. Fill my soul with your gentleness today. In the powerful name of Jesus, Amen!
