The only way you can live with your soul at rest is to surrender your will to Mine. You've got to let go of all your expectations other than the expectation that I will embrace you continually. Without your submission to My will for your life, you will miss out on My best for you. You must do all that I command, obeying Me even when you don't understand, trusting without fully comprehending. I know at times it may seem that all I've purposed you to do is too difficult, but you are never meant to do what I've asked you to do in your own strength. If you'll surrender to Me, I will strengthen you to accomplish My purposes. There will be times when you will find yourself exhausted from the faith walk and you'll need to enter into My rest. If I took time to rest from My work, so should you. That time of rest will refresh your soul so that you can continue the journey I have set before you. Don't ever hesitate to give Me your all. Don't question My ways, and don't allow others to question what I've called you to do either. Do what you are able to do, allow Me to do the rest in and through you, and expect My supernatural power to accomplish the impossible. I'm holding you and everything else together. There is nothing to fear; rest in Me. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. COLOSSIANS 1:17 (NIV)
