Psalm 127
"Unless The Lord builds the house,
The builders labor in vain.
Unless The Lord watches over the city,
The guards stand watch in vain.
In vain you rise early
And stay up late,
Toiling for food to eat -
For he grants sleep to those he loves.
Children are a heritage from The Lord,
Offspring a reward from him.
Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in ones youth.
Blessed is the man
Whose quiver is full of them.
They will not be put to shame
When they contend with their opponents in court."
I have such a bad tendency of picking up all these responsibilities and putting extra stress on myself. But whatever I'm doing, if I am building up something for myself, it's never gonna work. Everyday is a battle between the self. I feel like with all the things are happening in life, as much as I tell God I want to cling on to him, I start to resort to my own strength failing to realize only God grants anything to those he loves.
I've been feeling a load of stress lately because I have too many things on my plate once again. It's causing me to e anxious, it's hard for me to focus, and I get headaches because of it. I'm not doing any good to myself but at the same time, I ask why I even do this to myself.
God, today I trust and commit this day unto you. With all the stress and work I'm putting myself through, it's in vain if you are not the center of it all. Only you grant me peace, only you can grab Ke rest, and only I can be blessed by You. So today, would you please guide me and help me every step of the way because I cannot do this on my own.
