As you face what should be a good night's rest, is your mind racing instead? Are you thinking of adding still more responsibilities tomorrow, to your already overburdened workload?

If you have entered into a "workaholic" pattern ... running on a treadmill of projects ... it will sooner or later catch up with you. Your mind will cease to function rationally, hindering progress and fruitful results. If eventually your body is worn to its limits by the incessant work cycle, physical and emotional collapse is inevitable, and spiritually you will dry up so that God seems distant and unrelated to your frenzied life.

There is an old saying, "When the devil can't make you bad, he makes you busy!" If he can't render you inactive, he destroys your effectiveness through overwork.

Step into the rhythm of God's will. Do what He wants you to do when He wants you to do it! Tonight, ask God to still your mind and spirit and make you an open channel for His redirection of your priorities. Examine your efforts and objectives. Have they been yours or God's? Are you driving yourself or is the Holy Spirit leading you gently into those things He would have you do?

In all your ways know, recognize and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths; (Proverbs 3:6 AMP).

Be open to God's will tonight. Seek His guidance and He will clearly show you what His plans are and give you contentment, making each day complete in Him.

Father God, forgive me for working in my own strength and going beyond Your limits. Restore every area of burnout. I give my work to You and ask for Your perfect will each day from this night on. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
