So Ask Him

From: New Life Daily Devotional - Steve Arterburn

Matthew 11:29 “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.”

We live in a fast-paced, stress-inducing, anxiety-filled world that oftentimes seems to shift beneath our feet. The idea that the pace of life seems to continually increase stress and worry is a universal concept. Sometimes, trusting God is difficult, especially when we become caught up in the incessant demands of an anxious world. Are you tired of the rat race?

When you feel stressed to the breaking point—and you will—return your thoughts to God’s love and God’s promises. And as you confront the challenges of everyday living, turn all of your concerns over to your Heavenly Father.

God doesn’t always take us out of life’s demanding situations. Instead, He invites us to allow Him to help us handle the demands. He wants to face each day and each challenge with us. Walking with Jesus Christ daily and trusting Him for guidance and wisdom to handle whatever comes, is the way to experience rest in the rat race.

The same God who created the universe will comfort and guide you if you ask Him . . . so ask Him. Then watch in amazement as your anxieties melt into the warmth of His loving hands.
