A Homemaker's Journal

i am commanded to

"Be still,

and know that I am God."

i am given the option to

"Cast your burden upon the LORD

and He will sustain you;
He will never allow the righteous to be shaken."

and Jesus pleads with me

"Come to Me,

all who are weary and heavy-laden,

and I will give you rest.

Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me,

for I am gentle and humble in heart,

and you will find rest for your souls.

For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

so why

do i cling to my worries and fears

nourish my discontent

indulge anxiety

engage in frantic-paced days

allow myself to be upset

and distracted from what matters most

why?

it is not

so hard to let go

to offer empty hands

and peaceful heart

as i make myself believe

not when i have His help

i lift my voice in praise

"Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden,
The God who is our salvation."
