From one stubborn child to another

Do you remember when you were younger and your parents told you to put something down? Reluctantly, you would put it down and then a few moments later you would forget and pick it back up again. They would again tell their stubborn child to put it back down and not to touch it. Now most often they told us this for our own good and so we wouldn't get hurt. It was for our own protection.

Here lately I see myself as that stubborn child. I give something to God and it's like I forget and just pick it right back up again. Then God gently reminds me and I give it back to Him and put it back down.

I'm tired of picking back up what I'm trusting God with. It's a habit that I need to break. Luckily for us all, God is very patient while we learn. 

When I feel myself getting overwhelmed, it just reminds me that I need to give it to God and not pick it back up.

Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.~1 Peter 5:7
