In the Stillness

Tonight my husband and I went to a prayer meeting that we go to every Tuesday night and our Pastor asked people to get up and thank God for what they are grateful for about Him. Not what He has given us, but specifically something about God that we are thankful for.
While I did not get up and pray, I sat in the pew thanking about my relationship with Christ and what I am thankful for. One of the many things that came to my heart was His presence.
I know that in my life things get hectic, busy and loads of weight is put on my shoulders from the cares of this world. Something happens though when I take time to just sit still and talk to Him. I feel an overwhelming sense of peace, tranquility and reassurance. I feel like the problems and cares that I have are for a moment in time gone and the only thing I want to do is stay where I am at and not move.
Matthew 11:28 "Come to me all you who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest." God beckons us to come to Him when the cares of this world are heavy upon us and to sit, be quite and allow Him to speak to us and give us rest from our cares. It is at this time I get to sit at my Father's feet and get a hug from God.
If you are heavy laden, burden, overwhelmed, depressed, etc. and have a relationship with Christ, stop what you are doing, take time to just sit and allow Him to take the burdens you have off your shoulders.
If you do not have a relationship with Christ, the first thing you have to do is ask Him to forgive you for your past and then ask Him to help you walk with Him, allow Him to come into your life and begin to work in you. As you walk with God take time to talk to him and watch as He is faithful to be there!
