"Ruffled Feathers"

Ya know...many times I get overwhelmed, anxious and feel stressed...or simply all of the above.  Sometimes, to you, my reasons may seem totally absurd and ridiculous.  And, sometimes, I wonder to myself...why do I seem to lack resilience in managing what may seem like the simplest tasks of life?  I can't seem to get a grip.  I'm just tired.  I'm spinning wheels.  I want to get off this roller-coaster ride of life and escape forever to the sea.  But, I can't.

Every day, I must surrender.  Every~single~day.  I must realize that I absolutely cannot do this thing called life in my own strength.  

Jesus reminded me today of this...Matt.11: 28-30:   “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened (or have ruffled feathers), and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” 

Ahhhh.  What is this kind of rest Jesus speaks to us about?  My guess is it is totally supernatural and one that I cannot explain.  If only I could get this and stay there.  I so long to know.
