What to Do When You Have Had Enough

The idea in this devotional and this phrase-do the next thing- has helped saved me from driving myself crazy so many times.  Can you allow that whisper into your ear right now?  Sit still, and let go of your every thought that is bombarding you and your mind and your spirit.  And hear the whisper, do the next thing.

Forget about the to-do list, forget about all the expectations, forget about all the concerns and worries you have in this world, you can't control them anyways, and just do the next thing.  Whisper in your heart to God, what is the next thing you want me to do.  And do it.  Leave it at that.  No questioning.  No doubting.  No beating yourself up.

Where are you at?  What is the next task at hand that you need to do?  Now that you have the answer, just do it.  Rest in Him.  Rest, rest, rest your weary soul.  

Are you at home?  Do the children need attention or something done for them?  Do it.  Does the laundry need to be tended to for a moment?  Do it.  Does your husband need something that you have been rushing by because you were too busy with many concerns?  Do it.  

Are you at work?  What is the task you are putting off because you don't want to put the energy into it?  Do it.  What is the thing the boss has been wanting done?  Do it.  What is the next thing?  

That is it.  The very next thing.  Do it.  

Be blessed today!
