Are You Still Trying to Do It?
Sleepless nights... Heavy days... Pacing back and forth... Are you working yourself to the bone and not seeing the results?

Standing still for a moment blessed me the other day. I heard the Holy Spirit ask, "are you still trying to do it all?"
Quickly, I realized that within a month I had, prepared for my daughter's surgery, published my 1st book, celebrated a month of birthdays, finished a group book reading and overcame being sick in my body throughout the same timeframe.
I was struggling to promote my book. It's the hardest thing to self-promote when you really don't like to. It's far outside of my comfort-zone. I had fasted and prayed to put anxiety out of my life. (It kept trying to pop up).
The big question. How do I move out of the way? How do I know that it's Your (God's) will and not my own? What do I do in the meantime? Yeah, it's more than 1 question, I know.
I continued through my day, still uncertain of what I should be doing. Late that night, after being awake for almost 20 hours, I realize, I'm going to have to hire people. How in the world will I do that? This means back to my prayer closet I go.
