Are you ready to let your burdens go? Do you have a faith that rests?

 

We may desire to do God’s will and bring Him glory, but all of our effort and struggling can bring disappointment and even a sense of hopelessness over time. 

 

Andrew Murray, the nineteenth century writer and pastor, writes that God is the only source of power. He is the Almighty and He works all. He writes, “Entering the rest of God is the ceasing from self-effort, and the yielding up oneself in the full surrender of faith to God’s working.”

 

Jesus wants to bring us into union with Himself into the place of rest and love. Isn’t this reassuring?

 

Have you been able to give your problems, pressures and difficulties to Him? Will you allow Him to do the work to bring you into His rest?

Sometimes we need this reminder and Monday morning is a good time for it.

 

We may have started the day and week feeling burdened, if not overwhelmed, with all of the work we’re faced with. 

 

We also tend to become occupied with figuring out what to do next, or how to do it.  Worse, we often forget the most important thing we need to do – “call on Jesus”.  Maybe that’s because it seems too simple to be a solution! 

 

Have you called on Jesus today?

Has your faith grown enough that you can let go of your burdens and rest in Him?

 

Our efforts to do God’s will and bring Him glory often become a struggle that ends in disappointment and, over time, lead us to a sense of hopelessness.

 

Andrew Murray, a pre-eminent author and pastor, emphasizing that God, the Almighty, works all, concludes that He is the only source of power. He writes, “Entering the rest of God is the ceasing from self-effort, and the yielding up of oneself in the full surrender of faith to God’s working.” 

 

Scripture confirms that Jesus wants to bring us into union with Himself and to a place of rest and love. Isn’t this reassuring? 

 

Have you been able to give your problems, pressures and difficulties to Him? Can you trust Him to take up your burdens and struggling and enter His rest?

A coaching relationship provides a helpful and healthy platform for sharing and finding relief from burdens. It’s a safe place, where your coach listens and engages with you to help you determine how to lighten your load and move forward without those burdens. 

 

Everyone has burdens, but not everyone is motivated to let go of them and improve their situation and their life. A genuine desire to unload heavy burdens is a key. A coach can’t provide the desire and determination, but can be an important sounding board to help lift and eliminate unnecessary burdens. 

 

Good coaches begin their coaching businesses by finding and meeting with their own coach. This gives coaches the positive experience of sharing their burdens and finding solutions that work for them. Everyone benefits! 

 

Why keep wrestling with unneeded burdens? What are you waiting for?
