Limit

Is there no limit to what the enemy can throw at me?

There is a limit to what I can do.

But there is no limit to what God can do.

“Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.’” – Matthew 19:26

 

So I ask God to help me, but I’m not letting Him because I’m pacing around trying to figure out what fire to put out first.

I have so much stress built up in side my mind is not working – not even when I write things down – not even when I talk things out.

And my stress tightens my shoulders and my neck and I get a headache and I try to do something, anything, and I feel exhausted and I lie down to rest from doing nothing but worrying.

I try to relax. I pray. I breathe. I pray. I give everything to God again. I pray.

I fall asleep.

“He says, ‘Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.’” – Psalms 46:10

 

I awake with one small job in my head. I thank God for His guidance and I do that one thing. Then the stress of my limitations, my possible future humiliation and shame, the mistakes from my past and my lack of self-discipline… and the cycle repeats.

I fall asleep.

I awake and the next job is in my mind, and I thank God, and I do the thing.

I feel relief.

And I breathe and realize that I am in the cycle.

So when the worry enters my mind I stop, I breathe, I pray, I find a place to sit, and I ask God for the next job.

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” – Joshua 1:9
