Do you have times where you feel lost and confused? I think we all do, and those times can come upon us without warning! Most of the time, the feelings for me are because I cannot control my circumstances. But there are times where the feelings come about because of other things. At least that is what I tell myself.
One thing that causes me to feel lost, confused and in need of help is when I see family members going through an ordeal that I would like to help them through. I know that most women will understand this. We are programmed to help family; all our family, from immediate family to extended family. Even friends that we consider our family. My husband has a way of letting me know that I am trying to do everything, he calls me the Little Red Hen. I find this cute, funny, and slightly irritating. But it does remind me to stop for a moment, take a breath and remember to give whatever it is to God to work out in His way, and that it is not my job or my responsibility.
So I sit, confused as to what I am supposed to do! Then I remember:
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matt. 11:28-30
So I go to Him, place my burdens, my confusion, my worry on Him. I am not lost with Him. I am at home.
I go to Him, find rest beside the still waters, let Him restore my soul. I know that I will still have concerns, will feel moments of confusion and feeling of being lost, but, I also know that I am still with Him and He is watching over me and all my family, whoever you are!
