There’s always so much to do; it’s a constant. The demands are intense. If you make the switch to working through prayer and harnessing the spiritual principles I’ve shown you, your spiritual muscles can become well developed, and by committing to Me the things that you’re not getting to, you can be assured that someone is getting to them—Me, or My helpers of the Spirit, or they’re handled through My supernatural engineering—and they’re not being dropped. But when you’re trying to do too much yourself, or in the physical world, without committing things into My capable hands, then you’re constantly under pressure to perform, accomplish, get things taken care of. And that can lead to the cycle of an unbalanced life, taking on too much, risking forgetting important things, and eventually wearing out, because the load upon you is more than I intended for you to carry.
Some of the load you carry when you’re trying to do it all yourself is just plain unnecessary. No one likes to hear that what they’ve been doing could have been left undone and the world would still go on, but that’s the truth. When you make the switch to working with Me through prayer and following My lead, even if it seems to you that you’re sometimes getting less work done, you’ll be doing the work right and doing it in the best and most effective and efficient way, and you’ll wind up saving yourself time in the long run.
Effectiveness and efficiency aren’t only about physical modes of operation. There’s a whole realm—the spiritual realm—which is virtually untouched. So you have to stop, assess the way you’ve been operating, and determine to commit more to Me, to ask for My help more, to put more of the weight into My hands to carry for you. And that might mean leaving some things in the physical realm undone, because while spiritual work is work in the spiritual realm, it still takes time, and that means it sometimes has to take the place of physical work.
