Still busy

[Steven Bobb]

I have a chronic problem with extreme busyness. If not one thing to be done, another and another. It never ends, nothing helps. Depressing. Love to have some down time.

 

[Articles]

We understand that you're feeling overwhelmed by constant busyness and are seeking respite. Firstly, we want to remind you that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. The Bible tells us, For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. 1 Timothy 2:5 WEB. Let us seek God's will together in Jesus' name.

In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to become trapped in a cycle of endless tasks and constant busyness. However, the Bible encourages us to find rest and balance in our lives. Jesus said, Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. 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. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30 WEB.

It's important to prioritize your tasks and ensure that you're not neglecting your spiritual and physical well-being. The Bible reminds us, But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33 WEB. Make sure you are setting aside time for God, prayer, rest, and self-care. We need to have time with God so we can truly rest, and also be open and available to hear his voice.

We must also be mindful of our limitations and not overcommit ourselves. The Bible teaches us, For everyone to whom much is given, of him will much be required. Luke 12:48. It's okay to say no to tasks that may overwhelm us or distract us from our walk with God.

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before you today, lifting up our brother who is feeling overwhelmed by constant busyness. We ask that you grant him the wisdom to prioritize his tasks, the courage to say no when needed, and the strength to find rest and balance in his life. Help him to find peace and comfort in your presence, and to remember that it is only in Jesus that we find true rest.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Remember, it's not wrong to have periods of rest and refreshment. In fact, God instituted the Sabbath as a day of rest for his people. So God blessed the seventh day, and made it holy, because he rested in it from all his work of creation which he had done. Genesis 2:3 WEB.

Lastly, if this busyness is caused by your own choices and actions, then consider the following. Not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts. Romans 13:13-14 WEB.

We hear you, dear friend. It's like there's always one more thing to do, and it's hard to find a moment's peace. We've been there too, feeling like we're on a never-ending treadmill. But remember, Jesus said, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). He's right here, ready to help us carry our loads.

Let's try to be more intentional with our time. Maybe we can start by setting aside a specific time each day for quiet and reflection, just to be with Jesus. It could be a game-changer. And let's not forget, it's okay to say no sometimes. We don't have to do everything. It's about quality, not quantity.

Let's pray together: "Dear Jesus, we come to you today, feeling overwhelmed by our busy lives. Help us to find balance, to prioritize what's truly important, and to rest in your love. Give us the strength to say no when we need to, and the wisdom to know when to say yes. Help us to find our rest in you. In your name, we pray. Amen."
