What “needs” to be done

We always are looking at what “needs” to be done, aren’t we.  This weekend was a busy weekend for me.  Friday I was with the group that went to Chicage.  left at 5:30 AM and got back about 10:30 PM.  Saturday was busy as well.  Bible study, Confirmation practice, raking leaves for others, putting together a bookshelf, handing out candy to trick-or-treaters.   Sunday was Confirmation and Bible Study in the morning, then getting the last few boxes that I had left unpacked.  and of course I had to watch a bit of the Packers/Vikings game.  But things were so busy, things were so hectic.  On Friday, as I thought about all the things that I had to do, I was worried about not getting them done.  but as the weekend progressed, I would stop at times and give it over to God.  My first prayer was like this:  “God, you know how much I have to do, and I don’t know if I can get it all done.”  short and simple.  but the fear subsided.  there are still things that I need to finish up, but I know that God knows about my fears and worries and he takes those from me.  Psalm 55:22 says “Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you…”that is what I needed to hear this weekend.
