Relax




For anyone who enters God's rest
 also rests from his own work.
Hebrews 4:10 (NIV)

A lot of our problems stem from ourselves.  From the stressing and striving and worrying that keeps us tied up in knots.   What we need to do is relax. Trusting means relaxing.  Let go and leave it all to God.
As I am totally committed to His will for my life, He assumes full responsibility for me - for my own personal needs, for the outcome of the projects He assigns to me, for the effectiveness of the ministry, for the response of the people, for the fruit of the labor and for the permanency of the work.*
We can't solve the world's problems by stressing and straining.  We can't even solve our own. We can pray, then rest, leaving the results with God.

 Don’t worry about anything; 
instead, pray about everything.
 Tell God what you need,
and thank him for all he has done.
Then you will experience God’s peace,
 which exceeds anything we can understand.
 His peace will guard your hearts and minds
 as you live in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7 (NLT)
