And the cares of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the Word, and it becomes unfruitful. Mark 4:19
I was having trouble seeing God at work in my life. The cares of the world were like a fog blocking my view of Christ.
Then I decided to fling my burdens at His feet. As the fog of worry started to lift, I could see His face clearly. I became conscious of His presence in my life. He has been there all along. I had just not seen it.
Now I have to do this as a daily discipline. I consciously cast my cares on Him and I clearly see His work in my life.
Two weeks ago I could not see how I was going to have time to work on my current book project. I was discouraged. Life was going at a break neck speed and I didn't have time to write.
I prayed. I asked the Lord to help me carve out some time to write.
The burden lifted when an opportunity opened for me to take a ten day writing retreat. I found a ride to my sister's house and discovered I had enough frequent flyer miles to get home. It has been a fruitful time.
Yesterday I sent over 8500 words to my writing coach. I feel so good about this book! I can clearly see where it is going and the words are flowing easily.
My worry got out of the way and I did it!
I pray for your burdens to be lifted today. I hope you can clearly see God at work in your life.
God Bless your heart as you fling your cares at His feet.
