Too Much, Too Many, & Too Little

Sometimes we say ...

  "Lord, I am tired because there is too much ..."

    * Too much stress.

    * Too much stress over money.

    * Too much stress over balancing, or trying to balance accounts.

    * Too much stress over things that we cannot change.

    * Too much stress due to talking about having a simpler life.

    * Too much discontent.

    * Too much time wasted on trivial and useless endeavours.

    * Too much stuff.

    * Too much stuff happening.

  "Lord, I am worn out because there are too many ..."

    * Too many people going through hard times.

    * Too many petty arguments and discussions.

    * Too many distractions.

    * Too many things.

    * Too many things we want.

    * Too many things we want to do.

    * Too many things we don't want to do.

    * Too many people asking for help and demanding our time.

    * Too many comparisons.

    * Too many un-cried tears.

  "Lord, we get burned out because there is too little ..."

    * Too little time spent in physical activity.

    * Too little time spent with friends.

    * Too little time spend with our families.

    * Too little time spent in meditation and reflection.

    * Too little time spent in laughter.

    * Too little time spent reading quality writings.

    * Too little time spent reading Your word.

    * Too little time spent with You.

So the Lord Jesus says to us:

   ²⁸ “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.²⁹ Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. ³⁰ For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30 NIV).
