Resting In The Lord

Yesterday at the Morning service at New West Karyn Baker preached about rest and it was so powerful because lately this is what God has been talking to me about. He wants me rest and nto rest by sleeping but by spending time in his word. Praising him, worshiping him, serving him. I want to spend sometime resting in the Lord but it is hard when you have alot going on in your life. For me I have been asking God what does it look like to rest in the Lord because I am not sure what it look likes. For me I find that I only turn to God when I really need him and that is not fair because I should be praising God all the time. God is everything to me and when I only pray to him when I need him that is not really wanting the lord in my life. We should be prasing the Lord 24/7. God really spoke to me when Karyn was preaching because he was saying that I need spend time with him. I need to be interamet with him. This was a powerful preach because it is all God has been talking to me about is resting in him. I am thinking of takeing some time off because I am to distracted by all the things around me that I am not spending enough time with the Lord.

Yesterday instead of going swimming with my friends I chose to serve God by going to the care home. I need to spend time with the Lord. Sometimes I find that I get to distracted by me friends that I don't worship God the way he wants me to. I need God so much and even with some of the stuff going on at home I need more then I have ever. I am can't do it with out him. I need to rest in him. I have been over working myself so much that I don't even not what God wants me to do rightnow. I have been so caught up in my life and what is going on that I have not given it to the Lord. I want him to take it all. All the hurts and all the pain. Last night at The Hill I was trying to worship God but then it just turned into me wanting to have fun and not really sing to the Lord. It was hard to sing to him because of the stuff I am dealing with. Sometimes I belm God for all the stuff that goes wrong in my life. I know deep down that it all happens for a reason. I just don't want to believe it. I need to turn to God. For he will help through this all. Even if I don't want to believe it.

Can you pray that God wil help me and that my faith will grow stronger as I deal with this stuff at home. That he will help me to deal with the hurt and pain in my life. Also that God will show me what I am to do.

Blessing to you all
