The world is too much with you, My child. Your mind leaps from problem to problem, tangling your thoughts in anxious knots. When you think like that, you leave Me out of your worldview and your mind becomes darkened. Though I yearn to help, I will not violate your freedom. I stand silently in the background of your mind, waiting for you to remember that I am with you.
When you turn from your problems to my Presence, your load is immediately lighter. Circumstances may not have changed, but we carry your burdens together. Your compulsion to "fix" everything gives way to deep, satisfying connection with me. Together we can handle whatever this day brings.
"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous hand."
Isaiah 41:10
(From Sarah Young's book Jesus Calling)

This week I have been so stressed out with everything I need to accomplish. I have a big scholarship due next Friday and next week we have 1000 kids coming to our school for the Missouri Student Council State Convention. On top of that I have all my dance classes and competition this weekend. I feel like I barely have time to breathe. If only I could just let go and let God carry my burdens. I feel like if I was to give it over to Him and not worry, than how will my scholarship get turned in or do my homework or practice my dances? But God tells me to turn from my problems to His Presence, it wont change what I am going through but my load wont be so heavy, not weighing me down. I need to just LET GO.
