The last few days anxiety and guilt have been following me like a shadow. They linger near, but they never overtake me.
This morning, very early, I was laying in bed praying. Thinking through my day and the weeks to come. I was spilling out my "worry list" to the Lord.
As I was praying, he quietly spoke these words into my heart.
"My yoke is easy and My burden in light (Matthew 11:30). Whose yoke are you wearing?"
Long, deep, life-giving sigh.
He was so right. My worries were ALL me taking on a yoke that was not mine to wear.
So my first lesson this year is pretty powerful and equally simple.
Now. . . if only I can remember it.
(Ever feel that way?!?)
I am so thankful for our patient, faithful, always loving God. I'm quite sure I would have given up on me a long time ago. . .
