The Lord Is Greater Than Our Troubles

Sometimes life can seem tiring and highly stressful.  I don't like feeling stressed and I am sure I am not alone in that.  Sometimes life gets hard and sometimes we get ourselves into trouble and end up stressing ourselves out because of something we did.

Life can be hard.  Sometimes we need wisdom and discernment.  The Lord tells us in His Word that we can always ask Him for wisdom and He will grant to us if we are willing to listen to what He has to say.  The Lord is a present help in our time of need.  He will always be with us no matter what our circumstances are like.

The Lord is never overwhelmed and stressed out over our situation.  We must remember that the Lord is bigger that anything that we are facing.  We can and should take all of our concerns to the Lord and leave them there with Him.

I must confess I worry and fret over things way too much.  I know I need to surrender and trust the Lord more each and everyday.  I wish I could say I was getting better at that, but I still have a ways to go.  I need to depend more on the Lord and let go knowing that He is in control and I am not.

I am not in control of anything.  I am weak and I stumble and fumble things a whole bunch.  I am thankful for the Lord's mercy and grace and His great love for me.  The Lord calls us to come to Him and find the rest our souls long for.

We can find rest in the Lord Jesus and we can trust that He is faithful and true to His Word.  Let's go to the Lord Jesus and seek Him and love Him with all of our hearts.

Lord,
We praise Your Name.
Help us not to stress out.
Empower us through Your Holy Spirit to live for You.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
