Do your mind, body and soul need recharging and refreshing? Do you usually feel overburdened by the concerns of this world? Are you now facing major challenges in your family life, relationships, finances or career? Think about this for a moment. What would cause you to relax and rest? If you knew everything was going to work out for your good, you would stop worrying and relax? Would you rest better?
Then go to God, and start relying on His strength. Our Father in heaven wants to strengthen and recharge you. He wants to cause you to rest. He wants to refresh you daily. Even if things don't work out exactly as you planned, or even on your timetable, you can truly trust that God will turn things around on your behalf as His Christian gift, and in your favor.
God created every one of us to be successful through His strength. We just have to learn to turn our lives over to His will, and trust in Him. Before the foundation of the world, He laid out an exact plan for our life. He also gave us free will to choose to ignore Him and live as we want on our own mortal strengths, or come to Him and grow a closer relationship, and be recharged and refreshed. This is God's Christian gift to each of us. All we need to do is open the package.
Matthew 11:28 (AMP) tell us: "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. I will ease and relieve and refresh your soul."
Once you submit your life to God, by the blood of Jesus, and truly make Him Lord and Ruler of EVERY area of your life, you then will truly find rest for your mind, your body and your soul! When your mind, body and soul are continually at rest, you will start feeling refreshed. You will also discover that your mind is recharged, and you will start experiencing a clearer mental picture. Your physical body is also be recharged, and you will have more energy to do your daily tasks. Your soul will feel refreshed, and life's problems and difficulties will not seem as big, and will roll off your shoulders much more easily.
Start seeking to grow closer in your relationship with God in prayer today, right now, and every day. Tell Him that you know that without His strength you are powerless to handle life's difficulties. Ask Him to favor you as He promised, and relieve you of your burdens, problems and worries.
As you start feeling refreshed and recharged, then thank Him for taking your burdens and giving you peace. Thank Him for His love for you today and giving you new life, hope and strength. Thank Him for His faithfulness, His grace, and His mercy that He bestows upon you daily as His Christian gift.
When you have submitted your life to God, you can go out everyday with an attitude of faith and expectancy because you truly know that God is working behind the scenes on your behalf—and you know that you can come to Him through prayer in the name of Jesus and He will always listen.
