Worry has been creeping in to my heart, my mind, my body, finding it's entry ways in my doubts and fears. And I have been letting it rule my heart and mind and body this week. It is taking its toll.
When I really sit and examine some of my worries, some of them may be legitimate, but many are not. Regardless of if they are real worries or exaggerations of my brain, I still desire to not carry around such a burden. I desire peace and rest and to find my strength in those, not in figuring out how to solve all of the "problems" in my life.
Your words strike deep within my soul as I read them and think about the honesty conveyed in them. Choosing to be yoked with Christ and not carry our own burdens, worries, doubts, fears is a constant struggle for those of us wired this way as our default mode.
