It took me a long time to learn how to relax. I dealt with anxiety in a major way. I was always overthinking and allowing negativity to cloud my judgement.
I remember times when I heard myself talk and my tone was so faithless. I was a realist in the most negative way. I couldn’t relax because I was too busy trying to figure it all out and run the show.
With time the facade was cracking and I eventually slipped into depression. I found myself having sleepless nights and binge watching shows on Netflix until the sun came up.
I even had team members that I managed see right through me as a led. That was hard to take in. The cover up of pain and issues will shine through without faith and liberation. I was gliding through life making money and enjoying the night life and still couldn’t relax.
With God, therapy and support of others I broke through. Now relaxing is so much easier. I find peace in the word of God, in prayer, and in time spent with God.
Matthew 11:28 taught me that coming to Jesus gives me the release. I had to learn how to come to Jesus open and transparent so all the weights would be lifted. Most of my life I was very surface level with what I allowed God in on. Once that changed my transparency with God everything changed.
I encourage you to try it. It is so worth it. Now relax because God got you!
