I am an over-analyzer. And you know what comes with over-analyzing? Worry. Feeling burdened and overwhelmed. But I know that’s not what God has in mind for me. Proverbs 12:25 says, “Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.” The “good word” that God has placed on my heart lately is “Surrender.” Surrender my will to His will. Surrender my worries to Him. Surrender my burdens to Him. Matthew 11:28-30 says, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” God wants to take the things I am burdened with and take care of them for me. For someone who constantly feels burdened, rest sounds like a welcome relief.
