The Place where I lay it all Down
Finding peace and direction by putting God first in your daily struggles.
Seek Him First
As women, we carry a lot. We carry our families, our responsibilities, our dreams, our hopes, and sometimes burdens we never tell anyone about.
But somewhere along the way, I learned that I don't have to carry everything by myself.
I can take it to God.
Prayer doesn't always have to be long. It doesn't have to be filled with the perfect words. Sometimes my prayer is simply, "God, I need You."
There is something about spending quiet time with God that allows me to hear beyond all the noise around me. I can talk to Him about the things I understand and the things I don't. I can ask Him for direction before I make a decision. I can sit still long enough to listen instead of always trying to figure everything out on my own.
We seek advice from friends, family, books, social media, and people we trust. There is nothing wrong with that. But how often do we pause and ask, "God, what do You say?"
I believe there is a place in every woman's heart that only God can fill.
So today, before you try to figure out one more thing on your own, find a quiet place.
Talk to God.
Then give yourself enough time to listen.
You may be surprised by what happens when you seek Him first.
