Art thou weary?

I don't know about the rest of you, but sometimes it feels like I've got the entire world resting on my shoulders.

Okay, we're all human, so I know you've all had days like that.

It's so, so easy to get bogged down with everything that's going on in our lives.  With everything that we have to do every single day.

Sometimes, I just need to remind myself to give my burdens, no matter how great or how small they may be, to the Lord.  He is willing and He is more than able to carry them for me.  In fact, He loves to carry them for me, because He loves me.

Once I've allowed Him to bear my burdens, I can breath and I can see.

I can see His hand in my life.

I can see how beautiful this world that He's created for us is.

I can see how much my family needs me and appreciates me.

I can see that sometimes, I just need to be still and wait.

 I can be still, and know that He is God.

I can rejoice in Him and glorify Him once more.

I can thank Him for giving me this life to lead, for putting me exactly where I'm most needed.

I can see that I have a purpose, even when it seems I'm going nowhere.

The following are some verses, quotes and songs that lift me up and give my soul a much needed boost.

I hope that they will lift you up today, too.

 

 Be still, and know that I am God:

I will be exalted among the heathen, 

I will be exalted in the earth.

Psalm 46:10

While I'm Waiting...I listen to this song every morning, and the lyrics never cease to encourage me.

Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, 

and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say on the Lord.

Psalm 27:14

Someday, I'll understand.

And let us not be weary in well doing: 

for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

Galatians 6:9

Blessed Be Your Name...another song I listen to every day.

Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: 

he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

Psalm 55:22

Voice of Truth...love, love, love this song.

As for God, his way is perfect: the word to the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

For who is God same the Lord?  or who is a rock save our God?

It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.

He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places.

He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.

Psalm 18:30-34

And remember this...

Have a beautiful blessed day, everyone!
