Surrender Your Pain to God and Allow Yourself to Rest

You don’t have to carry everything on your own. You can also share your burdens with God like how you share your blessings with others. He allows you to be in painful and challenging moments so that you may share all of those burdens with Him. You don’t have to be a solo fighter. Instead, He wants to be your partner. You can unload to Him everything that you are carrying. He wants you to realize how rest really works in His presence. 

There will be moments when you feel so exhausted with problems and pressure. The responsibilities you have will multiply as time goes by. You’ll feel so alone and lonely in your own corner. You’ll think of every little thing that contributes to your pain. You’ll feel so helpless and drowning. But during those difficult times, may you allow yourself to rest. You don’t have to carry your burdens on your own. You can always let yourself smile in the middle of everything. 

You might think that it would be a waste of time, but it isn’t. Resting is a way for you to focus on the solutions rather than the challenges alone. You cannot solve a situation using another problem. That is why thinking more of it would only multiply your hurt rather than eradicating it. Your pain could be God’s way of allowing you to learn and grow, but it doesn’t mean that you are not allowed to rest. Rest is a must. It will help you regain your sanity and focus more on the solutions that need to be done.

God allows you to carry all your pain because He is the only one who understands it fully. He understands why and how certain things happened to you. He is the only one who can explain the reason behind every event of your life. He never misses a moment in your life. God wrote it for you. There’s no reason for Him to say no. God wants you to rest in Him because He is the only One who can unload it for you. He is the ultimate holder of solutions to your problems. 

That is why there is no need for you to keep on running. You can walk with Him instead.  Don’t push yourself to stand up when you can rest. This life isn’t a race to win but a journey of discovery with God by your side. You deserve to rest. Lay to Him all that you are carrying. Submit to Him all that is bothering you. There’s no problem too small for God to solve. You have a God that created the Universe and everything that the human mind hasn’t known yet.

So, rest in Him and let Him reveal more wondrous things.
