This weekend, I had a lot of school work to catch up on, and on top of that our maid did not come.
My Saturday was not going as planned, and I was getting frustrated, and upset. In the morning while cooking, I played worship songs, and that gave me peace and joy. But, when the maid did not come, while washing the dishes, I was getting worried about how I will finish the work. I surrendered that to the Lord and the Holy Spirit ministered to me, and helped me to fight the battle in my mind. I did not need to worry, as the Lord is my helper, and will help me to complete what needs to be completed this weekend. Since he knows the beginning from the end, he also knows what needs to be completed. He also gives me favor with God and with men. He is also my strength through whom I can do all things.
The Sunday Service and Sermon was also a blessing, I had peace and joy and was at rest during worship, and the Lord was showing areas in my life where I had the fear of missing out. Even the fact that I was worried about how I will complete my school work was in essence the fear of missing out if I did not complete what I thought I had to get done.
Psalms 55:22 NKJV
[22] Cast your burden on the Lord, And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.
Amen. As a pastor, I sense a lot of burdens from ministering but through that scripture and many others, the Lord is continuing to teach me to not carry those burdens, that they are His so the sooner cast it to Him by prayer, the sooner I “authorise” heaven by prayer, the better it is for everyone concerned. Praise the Lord!
