Rest from the burden of a small god. Why? Because I have found the Lord.
Rest from doing things my way. Why? Because the Lord is my Shepherd.
Rest from endless wants. Why? Because I shall not want.
Rest from weariness. Why? Because he makes me to lie down.
Rest from worry. Why? Because he leads me.
Rest from hopelessness. Why? Because he restores my soul.
Rest from guilt. Why? Because he leads me in the paths of righteousness.
Rest from arrogance. Why? Because of his name’s sake.
Rest from the valley of death. Why? Because he walks me through it.
Rest from the shadow of grief. Why? Because he guides me.
Rest from fear. Why? Because his presence comforts me.
Rest from loneliness. Why? Because he is with me.
Rest from shame. Why? Because he has prepared a place for me in the presence of my enemies.
Rest from my disappointments. Why? Because he anoints me.
Rest from envy. Why? Because my cup overflows.
Rest from doubt. Why? Because he follows me.
Rest from homesickness. Why? Because I will dwell in the house of my Lord forever

I think that if I could learn this I would be a better mom and wife.Sometimes I let the cares of life cloud my mind.If I would just stand back and let God handle it then I would have no reason to worry.I am trying alot harder not to get upset over situations that I can't control.God knows what's best.I just have to trust him to bring me though.I know he will never put more on us than we can bear.I just have to trust.Something that I am still learning to do.Believe me sometimes its hard to just put it in God's hands.I look back at how far I have come.There was times I didn't know where the gas money was going to come from.God always provided.I didn't know where the food was going to come from,but we have never been hungry.I didn't know where the rent money was going to come from,but I have always had a roof over my head.THANKS TO THE GOOD LORD.I have so much to be thankful for.I am still the clay and god is the potter.He is still molding me to what he wants me to be.
