Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you rest.

Being relaxed feels wonderful. Being nervous, tense, and worried are not so wonderful. I think we are stressed and overwhelmed because we keep trying to do everything ourselves, instead of trusting God to do it for us. Some of us let God in the driver seat, but, we still keep one hand on the wheel, just in case God makes a wrong turn. First of all, God will never make the wrong turn in our lives. If anything, we are the ones who make the wrong turn. If we are truly relying on and trusting in God to meet our needs there is no need to keep one hand on the wheel. When we trust God with every single area of our life, we will then feel the rest and peace that only He can give. If you are feeling overwhelmed today and nothing seems to be working out, it's time to take one hand off the wheel, let God do all the driving. Go to Him today, and He will give you rest. It's amazing how much more peaceful life can be, when we truly trust in and seek God diligently in every part of our life. This a true peace!
