"LEARN FROM ME." AND YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS (Matthew 11:29)

Notice that, unlike us, Jesus did not suffer from fear of failure. It is because it never crossed his mind that he could not do something that his Father had already assured him he could do. And he did not suffer from fear of scarcity either. Although he lived a simple life, he was responsible for his own maintenance and that of a group of people. As it did? He prayed a lot and stayed in tune with his Heavenly Father. Therefore, he knew how to fish when the fish did not bite or find the tax money in the mouth of a fish when he needed it (yes, Jesus paid his taxes!). Maybe God does not provide you in the same way, but He has promised to take care of you (1 Peter 5: 7). Jesus is saying to you today: "Come to me" learn from me "and you will find rest for your souls [emotions and mind]". (Matthew 11:29)

Stress comes to us because of our need to know everything in advance, to be in control. Even after praying and supposedly giving the situation to the Lord, we create an "emergency plan", in case He does not handle things as we think he should. Do you do that? You do not put the money in the bank and then you spend the night awake worrying about it, right? Well, at least have the same trust in God. Every time you enter a whirlwind of questions about what, when, how, where, give it to God. Not to that small God of your understanding, but to the great God whose deeds speak for themselves, whose fidelity never fails and who has earned the right to ask you: "There is something difficult for [me]" (Genesis 18:14) . In other words, learn to live like Jesus!
