Shake the Dust Off
If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet.—Matthew 10:14 (NIV)
When stress overpowers you, turn to God. If you feel burdened by taking on too much, recognize that it’s not your job to make everything happen. Do what you can and trust that God will do His part. No matter what you task are facing, look up and know that God will bring you joy.
Heavenly Father, Thank You for relieving my stress. Because of You I can face all of life’s challenges.
If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet.—Matthew 10:14 (NIV)
At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.—Psalm 119:62 (KJV)
Worry takes a tremendous amount of energy and often robs us of sleep and joy. Pray for the strength to follow the Lord’s instruction and let go of your fears. Take His words to heart—“Fear not!”—and feel a spark of excitement grow into joy.
