Dear God, you grant me so much power to do your will, but I must also do my part. Effort is required; the tasks will not do themselves.
Sometimes, too, your will is for me to rest. My body and mind must be restored for further effort.
I so easily fall into the trap of believing that I must labor continually. This is its own form of selfishness and disloyalty. It assumes that I alone am responsible for results in the world. Lord, you require that I do your will and no more.
You love me. I know this. Let me trust in you.
