GRAB YOURSELF A PRAY-ER
Today's reading: Exodus 17-20
"...This job is too heavy a burden for you to handle all by yourself." Exodus 18:18 NLT
Take off your cape and fold it neatly on the couch for a while.
The world will be all right, Super Friend, while we talk.
Allow me to be completely honest here: You are trying to do too much!
You are wearing yourself out. Your nerves are dangling on the edge of a messy precipice of burn-out. Your conversations are tainted with complaints, criticisms and constant talk of our schedule--and never having enough time. You are looking haggard and worn, well, what we see of you that isn't a blur.
You've got to slow down. You have to admit to needing a helping hand. You cannot continue at this pace for very long.
What to do?
Grab yourself a pray-er. A prayer partner. Someone who can lift you up, lend a hand and be leaned upon.
Admit to yourself, and your other SuperHero friends that you cannot keep up this pace of life.
Aaah, do you feel a smidge better? Maybe, just maybe it wasn't the weight of the world on your shoulders--maybe, it was that cape you've been wearing!
