To play less is to play more

Woke up this morning prematurally at 3am, mind full of things I had planned to do as the day begins. So much excitement and anticipation that I was totally unable to return to sleep. But as the hours passed, as some sleepy fatigue set it, I found myself asking, "Is all this worthwhile? Why am I doing all this for?"

...an emptiness fills my heart...

I am reminded: Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain. (Psalm 127:1). Indeed, I can come up with the most creative of ideas, but unless the Lord builds, I labor in vain. If God is not at the heart of what I do, there can be no eternity or hope in the work of my hands.

Father, teach me to let go and simply let you take over. Forgive me for being too ambitious and over-estimating myself, to push you out of the equation once again. I commit my work into your hands, to lay every single bit of my thoughts/plans/vision at Your feet. Help me Father, save me, for I am Yours.
