"You can go to God if you are weighed down by the demands and pressures of your life. Go to Jesus. He will give you rest from all your burdens, you must surrender all of it and believe Him to ‘work all things together for good’ for your sake, when have laid them at the altar of the Lord, let them alone to the Lord who will care for them and do not think about them anymore. In exchange, take on the yoke of Christ, which is easy and light. Be kingdom-minded: His Kingdom come and His will be done. Strive no more, your worries are futile, your own understanding and reasoning are meaningless when God’s hand is in your life (He does whatever He pleases for His glory and your sanctification), your thoughts are not higher than His. In His presence there is fullness of joy, at His right Hand are pleasures forevermore. That is where you need to go. Go to Jesus to empty yourself of worldly burdens and cares of this life and be filled with the simplicity of the joy and goodness and grace of the Lord. He will fill you up with Himself. In His presence, you will find rest and restoration for your weary souls. You will learn that joy and satisfaction and peace comes from His throne of grace and not the world nor the circumstances of your life and see that you are truly blessed beyond measure through the riches of God that is in Christ Jesus, His Son, being made available to us, His sons and daughters."
A good reminder as I push through the effects of j-term and the start of a new semester. =)
