Relief

This word means rest and relaxation after a time of stress or anxiety. I love the sense of relief after I’ve felt stress. It’s like a calming time and even an opportunity to breathe in. I believe that the presence of the Lord in my life brings me relief when others might be totally stressed out. I want to continue to walk with Him in relief, even in the middle of stress. He’s got this – whatever this is. Check this out…

I believe that prayer is a great way to find relief. In prayer, I’m turning everything over to the Lord and asking for His help. I believe as I grow in my trust of the Lord, that the morning can bring a fresh new day. As I trust the Lord to show me the way, I find relief. I love the line: “I hide myself in you”. Letting the Lord have control over every single thing in my life gives me great relief and peace. I’m simply “out of my league” when it comes to this level of control. I love this Psalm as it speaks to surrender and trust rather than accomplishment in order to have relief. Relief comes because of Who the Lord is and what He’s doing instead of what I’m doing.
