Several weeks ago I inherited several large projects in addition to my normal workload – needless to say it’s been quite busy.  A few nights I was up late finishing some paperwork and looking forward to a good night’s rest.  I woke up a few hours later at 4 a.m. and my mind was racing with all my responsibilities and deadlines before me.  As I tried to get to sleep I was contemplating getting up but I knew I should get some rest for the long day and meeting that I had later in the evening.

As I was debating whether to stay in bed or get up 1 Peter 5:7 came to mind, “casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.”   I simply took all the projects I was thinking about and said, “Here they are God, I really need to get to sleep.”  The next thing I knew I was waking up at 5:30 – well rested and ready to face the day.  Are you feeling overwhelmed at times – especially at this busy time of the year?  Come to Him in prayer – He really does care for you!
