Finally answering all my emails feels REALLY good. I need to step away now and just rest. Please pray for me. I struggle with crossing off a list of "to-do's" rather than relying on God to give me strength. I often fall into seeking perfection and acceptance from others rather than relying on God to care for my needs. It has been a really hard week, and I've pushed myself mentally more than I can handle. This isn't pleasing to Jesus. He doesn't want my accomplishments, He wants my trust, He wants my heart. It's refreshing to know that when I am at the end of my rope, even though it's been a hard week, God is in the business of making all things new, even me, even the days ahead of me. Regardless of my current condition, Jesus is still the same!
He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.
Revelation 21:5
Now I know that the Lord saves his anointed; he answers him from his holy heaven with the saving power of his right hand. Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.
Psalm 20:6-7
Please Pray:
- That I would know and believe that God doesn't want my accomplishments but that He wants my heart.
- That I would trust Him before trusting my own efforts.
Girl, I feel you on this one. I am a box checker if there ever was one! You hit it in this post---He cares WAY more about our hearts and wanting us to engage with HIM than He does about anything we do for Him. Thanks for posting!
