Are you overwhelmed by a tidal wave of tasks? Waking up feeling as though you’re already behind before you’ve even gotten out of bed? You’re in good company, according to a number of surveys. Many people report being stressed by all they have to do.
At the core of this pressure is a nagging sense of personal responsibility. Whether we’re racing to meet deadlines at work, juggling demands at home, or fulfilling obligations to friends and loved ones, we may think we are the ones—out there on our own—responsible for keeping life on track.
However, this is not the truth about God’s child—the real identity of each of us. From God’s point of view, we don’t actually have any power apart from Him to make things happen. God is the only power, and He is all-acting. As God’s creation, we are, in truth, God’s spiritual expression, reflecting His intelligence, poise, and precision. As such, we are the very evidence of God’s harmonious activity, which is ongoing every moment.
