Never live another day feeling overworked and burned out. Our God does not desire that for you. His plan is to bless you every day of your life, but you have to want it.
The secret to blessing is in your intimate time with God. Waiting on the Lord is the same as soaking in His presence and letting Him minister to you. Do this first, before you give Him you list of prayer requests. When you do, you get more than you thought you were asking for.
But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up as eagles. they shall run and not be weary. They shall walk and not faint. (Is 40:31) Energy, strength, flying time! It’s like filling up your tank every time you sit with Him.
Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart and you will find rest for your souls. (Mat 11:29) Jesus is the key to rest. You can do everything you need to do, but when you give it to Him first, He makes it so much easier.
Sit with Him and be filled with rest and strength and have a flying lesson.
