Wait! Please keep reading — even if that’s you! Every home seems to have that corner that is the unofficial headquarters for magazines, mail, coupons, and things we mean to deal with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You know the spot. The one that seems to multiply when you\u2019re not looking. The spot that I\u2019ll get to tomorrow, I say. Then tomorrow needs a nap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clutter isn\u2019t just about the piles of paper. Clutter sneaks into our minds and hearts with worries and emotional carry-ons — like that suitcase filled with way more than necessary needs inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are worries we pick up that we weren\u2019t meant to carry in the first place. We take on our burdens and others’ burdens far more than we should. And here’s the kicker — God never intended us to be burden-bearers. HE is our burden-bearer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We know those burdens — like those lingering thoughts that keep us up at night\u2026 the \u201cwhat-ifs,\u201d the \u201cwhat-now\u2019s,\u201d and the \u201cwhat-was-I-thinking\u2019s\u201d. But, it’s time to release them. It’s time to clear out the mental and emotional clutter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s time to let God do what only God can do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Psalm 55:22 says it best: \u201cCast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes, we can tidy up the drawers and file the papers. That part\u2019s on us. But the deep stuff? That\u2019s where divine intervention comes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
God\u2019s not looking for perfection. He\u2019s looking for surrender. And sometimes that means saying, \u201cLord, I can\u2019t untie this knot — it\u2019s too tangled. Will You take it from here?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So today, let\u2019s take a breath. Sort the stack. Clear the corner. Toss the worry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And trust our God who specializes in order, peace, and second chances. Uncluttering isn\u2019t just about clear counters and shelves. It’s about letting go and letting God unclutter our clutter — spirit — soul — and body!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
