YOU CAN’T HANDLE IT ALL
YOU ARE SO BUSY THAT YOU ARE…
- PHYSICALLY DEPLETED - RUNNING ON EMPTY
- EMOTIONALLY SCATTERED - ANXIOUS, IRRITABLE, OVERWHELMED
- RELATIONALLY DISTANT - PRESENT BUT UNAVAILABLE
- SPIRITUALLY MISALIGNED - CONNECTED TO ACTIVITY, NOT INTIMACY
IT’S TIME FOR AN ENCOUNTER WITH JESUS
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
Matthew 11:28 - 30 (NIV)
TOO MANY THINGS TO DO
SOME THINGS NEED TO BE SHARED
Moses’ father-in-law replied, “What you are doing is not good. You and these people who come to you will only wear yourselves out. The work is too heavy for you; you cannot handle it alone.” Exodus 18:17 - 18 (NIV)
Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2 (NIV)
SOME THINGS NEED TO BE STOPPED
“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” Luke 10:41 - 42 (NIV)
IF I HAD MORE TIME, I WOULD…
“Be still, and know that I am God…” Psalms 46:10a (NIV)
EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE SURRENDERED
Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him. Psalms 62:1 (NIV)
Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you… Psalms 55:22 (NIV)
WHAT RADICAL CHANGE DO YOU NEED TO MAKE?
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2 (NIV)
