A feeling of being relaxed is wonderful. Being nervous, tense, and worried is not wonderful, so why aren’t more people relaxed? Jesus said if we are weary and overburdened, we should go to Him and He will give us rest, relaxation, and ease.
Relaxation is one of the expectations from your relationships
Nearly everybody has some kinds of expectations from a relationship, whether in dating or in marriage. Relaxation is one of the expectations you’re eager for in relationships. Nobody can be truly themselves in an intense dating or marriage relationship. You always tend to be more amiable and at ease when you’re relaxed. But the problem is that many people just don’t know how to relax many times.
Relaxation is impossible without trust
Imagine how your relationship would be if you always don’t trust each other and initiate quarrels or even fightings. Conflicts resulting from distrust will make relaxation impossble. If you are in a dating relationship or marriage relationship without trust for a long time, you’ll be in a terrible state for a long time and this is really bad for both of your mind and body.
I simply did not know how to relax, and it was due to my not being willing to completely trust God. I trusted God for things, but not in things. I kept trying to be the one in control. Even though God was in the driver’s seat of my life, I kept one hand on the wheel just in case He took a wrong turn. Relaxation is impossible without trust! Dave is the most relaxed individual I have ever met. Part of it may be his God-given temperament, but most of it is his faith in God. Dave truly believes that no matter what happens in our lives, God will take care of it, and that enables him to relax.
We have even discovered that God can and will fix our mistakes and make them work for our good if we keep praying and trusting Him. All things are possible with God. If you know you can’t fix the problem you have, then why not relax while God is working on it? It sounds easy, but it took many years for me to be able to do this. I know from experience that the ability to relax and go with the flow in life is dependent upon our willingness to trust God completely.
If things don’t go your way, instead of being upset, you can believe that getting your way was not what you needed. God knew that, so He gave you what was best for you, instead of what you wanted. The minute you do that, your soul and body relax, and you will be able to enjoy life.
