"Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. "For My yoke [is] easy and My burden is light." Matthew 11:29-30
Has God given you a dream--a vision of the man He wants you to be, or something He wants you to accomplish? If He hasn't, ask Him for one. If He has, trust Him with it.
God gave Joseph dreams, but to his brothers, they seemed like a brat's fantasies (Genesis 37:8). What if, instead, you saw him as the dreamer God wants you to be, someone attuned to His Word and His will in such a way that He gives you regular downloads that direct your steps and guide your plans?
Start by clearing away thoughts and habits that create doubt. You're not doubting yourself when you doubt. You're doubting God, who gave you the dream. When Jesus spoke of living a burden-free life, He didn't refer to freedom from hardship or challenges, but liberation from your own limitations.
To live like that is to echo David's song: "I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken" (Psalm 16:8)
Prayer: Lord, let Your dreams be my dreams, Your plans my plans. Fill my heart with Your peace as I seek to honor You with all I have and am.
