It is finally Friday again. The Weekend is the time that people tend to free their minds of clutter. It is a time for family and relaxation. Everyone needs to clear their minds every their minds once in a while. Everyone needs their eight hours of sleep, a time just for themselves. A time to escape from their day to day routines. The Bible says in Genesis that even God rested on the seventh day. It is true that our bodies need rest and a time by ourselves. We often times find things to worry about if we do not take a " time out" one in a while.
God knew that before we existed and made provisions so we need to take advantage of it. However, that does not mean to push our oxens in the ditch. Sometimes we make excuses not to be a servant. Granted it is difficult at times, but then again, anything we do takes some effort on our part. God knew that as well. He knew that there would be things that we could not accomplish on our own and that is why He created prayer. Communication is the key word to most of our problems. If we just ask God for advice the answer will be provided. It might not be how we want the question answered, but He will never leave us alone.
Then, on the other hand, sometimes it is simply up to us to put " legs" on those prayers and move toward the goal in which we were concerned. Sometimes God expects us to be listening and observant of the situation before He takes control. Sometimes it is just as simple as asking someone, a person, for help. It might not be what we want to do, but if that is what God provided then that is our answer. I think sometimes people complicate prayer making it into something bigger than it is.
God said He would always be there but He made it so that we would have to ask Him. I am always amazed when God answers a prayer exactly when I pray. However there are other times that God says wait, not right now. He knows His plans for us and that is what we have to realize before we even start our daily routines. Prayer and time alone with God is an escape for me. I need an escape time, a time to reflect on the positive aspects of life.
No one needs to spend their life in a constant state of fear and worry. It will eventually wear your body down. Worry warts have no fun in life but then again, it is good to worry sometimes. To live a happy life, one must put their own worries on a schedule because there is a time for every season. We are human and there are things that bother us from day to day. We need to take time to reflect on the good things of life, get your eight hours of sleep, your peaceful time alone to rest. In saying that, remember, that our bodies are temple for the Holy Spirit so we need to take care of ourselves in the best way possible. #sleep#22q#beblessed
