Dare to trust God But we can relax and rest only when we trust God and turn loose of our load of care. It is possible to come to Jesus and present our problems, then go away just as burdened and weighted down as when we came. We sometimes think were the only ones who understand just whats at stake. We cant turn loose and fully trust the Lord or anybody else. So we go away sorrowful, trying to worry our way through. Perhaps you are carrying a heavy load today that has you exhausted, mentally, physically, and spiritually. Dare to trust God. He sees your concern for those loved ones. He knows the financial needs you are facing. He understands the anxiety and indecision that has stolen your peace of mind and kept you awake so many midnight hours. What would happen if you really trusted the Lord with all of your life? What if you threw yourself into His arms and said, I need a nap, and let Him take care of you? Would He let you fall, or turn His back on you? Of course not! He will not -- cannot -- fail. So cast all your care upon Him for He careth for you (see 1 Peter 5:7). But we must trust Him, yield to Him, wait for Him. How often do we get too impatient, even in prayer? Do we kneel to pray, and instead of allowing the Holy Spirit to guide us, blurt out our frustration and tell God how we think He should meet our need? In the beautiful words of the poet -- He knows, He loves, He cares, nothing this truth can dim. God gives the very best to those who leave the choice with Him. The beautiful old gospel song, What a Friend We Have in Jesus, reminds us of the help that is ours when we come, trusting, into His presence. Oh, what peace we often forfeit, Oh, what needless pain we bear, All because we do not carry Everything to God... in prayer. Trust God, my friend. Hear His invitation to come to Him and find rest. Join me in looking up into the wonderful face of Jesus and saying, Ive come to You, Lord, because I need a nap!
