Surrender and Lean Juggling priorities can be a major cause of stress. What should you do first? What can be postponed? How will everything get done? These thoughts can churn far into the night. That is why, to me, the most fascinating woman in the Bible is the virtuous woman of Proverbs, Chapter 31. Twenty one verses are devoted to this lady-and most of it to her schedule! Yet shes never hassled or under stress. Why? How does she do it? The Bible tells us she reverently and worshipfully fears the Lord. What does that mean? What does fearing the Lord have to do with making a tremendously busy life run like a clock? It has to do with surrendering and leaning. She holds the Lord in esteem and says to herself, I dont really have it all together...my ways of trying to figure out whats first and whats last; what to do and where to go, are not whats going to make me succeed-but the Lord will guide me. As the scripture says, Lean on, trust, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind, and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know, recognize and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6, AMP). Our Evening Prayer - Lets Pray Together … God loves you and wants to answer your prayer. Say this prayer with me: Heavenly Father, I surrender all the stress and turmoil of trying to juggle priorities over to You. I trust You with everything that I must do tomorrow. Teach me to lay my desires before You and to commit my way to You. Keep me flexible and yielding to Your touch. I will rejoice in Your direction and praise You in the straightness of Your paths. In Jesus Name, Amen.
