Learn from God

 learn how to be fully dependent on God. Proverbs 3:5-6 says “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways submit to Him and He will make your paths straight.” It’s easy to be anxious about the future or depressed about your circumstances, especially with the current problems the world is facing, but God promises when you trust Him, He will direct your paths. The key word here is “all.” When you give God all your burdens and trust Him with all your heart, the darkness surrounding your anxiety and depression begins to fade in the bright light of Jesus Christ. Sometimes, though, we need extra help during the learning process after we lay our burdens down because the weight of the previous yoke was so crippling, and that is okay! I used anxiety medication and went to Christian counseling during the learning process, but I would have never been able to find true rest if I didn’t first complete steps one and two — come and take God’s yoke. 

So if you feel like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders, come to God, take His yoke, learn from Him, and He will give you rest.
