Know When to Say No
For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.—2 Timothy 1:7 (ESV)
Knowing when to say no or when to ask for help is an important part of life. When your cup runneth over, perhaps it’s time to say no or to look for how you might downsize your responsibilities. When you empty your cup of what you cannot hold, you make room for new blessings.
Great and Awesome God, help me find rest when I’m stressed. Give me the courage to say no and to ask for help. Remind me that the best use of my time is serving You.
