The more you give of yourself and your resources to God the more you will receive from God. Be generous in the giving of your time, resources and finances and see what God does with them.
We do not need to impress anyone with our exploits, not even God. He loves us before we can do anything. Know that you are always loved by God. We are to love and obey God, not try to impress Him.
When God brings someone into your thoughts it is His way of promoting you to pray for them. You might not know what to pray, so ask God to tell you what to pray for, then pray.
Allowing the Holy Spirit to have control of your mind leads to a life of joy and peace rather than letting your carnal nature determine your thoughts which leads to confusion and separation from God.
God is already walking ahead of us, showing us the path to walk on. His light is leading us, so walk in His light following His path and we will not fail or be left on our own.
When oxen are yoked together they share the load they are carrying, Jesus goes on to tell us to be yoked to him so that He takes on our burden and gives us rest.
We are not meant to carry our burdens on our own, we are meant to help one another through difficult times, sharing the burden and supporting each other.
