I am completely exhausted.  It is the end of the school year, need I explain more?  Fatigue usually triggers me to overeat.  I normally gain a few pounds during the rush to finish the school year.  This week, my eating was better than in the past, but not perfect.  God has changed my heart so I quickly realized I was eating because I was tired, not hungry.  He helped me to set down the food and run to Him for relief.

Matthew 11:28 is, “Then Jesus said, ‘Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.’”  (Holy Bible, New Living Translation, 2007).  I find rest in God by shifting my focus on Him.  Many times, I work myself into a frazzled, weary mess. I turn to food for comfort at the end of a draining day. God is the only one that can fill my heart and comfort me.  He helps me to set aside tasks that can be completed later.  God gives me strength to finish what must get done.  He helps me step away from food.  I rest in God by allowing Him to carry my burdens.
