Mental and Emotional burnout

Well let's face it. We live in an action filled, stressful world, where we are always on the go. Our worth is measured up by how much money we make, how popular we are, how good we look, how smart we are, how much education we have, and the list goes on and on. But what does God think? Or do we even care to know what God thinks? It is so easy to get focused on the finite and the worldly, and to lose focus on the infinite and the heavenly. We must ask ourselves, "What is really important in this life, and why are we here?" I think if we are true children of God, deep down inside we know this answer.

Ah, but I know for me, I lose sight of the answer so easily. Just moments ago I was parked in a deserted neighborhhod, sitting alone in the dark in my messy car with my mp3 player in my lap and my headphones in my ears, crying my eyes out and screaming to God for help once again. May sound a little extreme, but I don't cry very much (like once every few months) and I will avoid doing it in public at all costs, so when I get alone in y little car and am by myself, LOOK OUT!!! I vented to God and realized that I just can't do it on my own. Wow, how many times have I learned that lesson? Too many, but I just keep learning it! I drug myself to the breaking point again, focusing on the temporal instead of the spiritual. No, I have no clue where I am going in life, every day it seems like I want something different, and I have no clcue what will come next, but the problem is I need to enforce a simple word into my life...TRUST. And that trust must be in God alone. Without that trust and trying to figure out everything on my own, I will quickly drag myself into the dust. I realize more and more each day that I am nothing without Him.

So in our busy lives, we must take time to realize that God is in control, and He will help us through all our battles. Everything changes, as I know all too well. Sometimes I wake up and ddon't even know who I am, which wears not only on me, but on those around me. But thank the Lord, I know who I am in Him, for I am His child. The only way we will find ourelves is to lose ourselves in Him, and though it is hard, we must do it in order to find true joy and contentment in every situation in life. We must lean on Him for every decision, every moment in our lives. God bless you all and have a great night!
