The Sabbath, Day of Rest.

Now I realize that the Sabbath is really on Saturday, but for most of America the Sabbath is on our beloved day Sunday.
Well for some of us it's beloved, but many of us work (and I am not so much talking about us in ministry. There are those in retail, fastfood, waiting tables, whatever it may be working).

All though I love my job, sometimes I feel like, I never really take a day of rest.
I just keep going and going and going.
And yes, I am very young, but I am feeling very worn out.

I want to Love the Lord above my work and ministry.
I want to Love people above my work and ministry.
I think I just need to set my priorities straight, and just FIND time to REST in God.
Anywhere, all the time.


If I allow Christ to be in everything I do, I don't think I will be so worn out.
We are promised strength and grace to do all things in and through Him!

my prayer is this:
Jesus, forgive me for making my life an idol.
For making my life so busy that I forget to rest in you, and trust that everything is going to be all right. The world is in your hands, in your control not mine.
I don't want to get worn out because I am not spending enough time with you.
Be part of everything, it's not about me anyways.
Sorry.
Please give me strength.
I am feeling very worn out. Sometimes I feel like giving up.
I feel like I am getting no where...maybe that is the point though.
I don't want to go anywhere, unless you give me the go.
Help me to put all my time and energy in you.
Thanks for interceding on my behalf Jesus.
Thanks for taking my prayer to the Father.
Holy Spirit please have your way.
Remind me what is most important.
Loving YOU first, people second.

Amen.
