It’s that time of year again; the month of December is a busy one for most people. For many people December is filled with the stresses of end of the year work assignments and projects, exams for students, meal planning and preparations, shopping and making sure everyone on your list has a Christmas gift, and of course looking forward to what next year has to bring. Our lives have become so busy and we’re constantly on the go. When do we make time for Jesus during this busy Christmas season. Afterall, it is all about Him.

This week’s Music Monday is one that has been done before; however, our lives continue to become busier and it is important to remember to put Jesus first. Jonny Diaz’s song, Breathe, is one many of us can relate to in our own daily lives. Christmas is a joyful season but we are often so rushed and busy by the details of our own lives that we forget what is most important about Christmas. While this may not be a Christmas song, the message is one that applies everyday of our lives.

Where do you find peace? Have you spent time with Jesus today? Today’s Music Monday is a reminder that even during the busiest day, we can find rest at Jesus’ feet. When you’re feeling stressed by the chaos in life, choose to take those burdens to Jesus and lay them down in His presence. Only He can carry your burdens and help you find rest.

This Christmas season my prayer for you is that you find rest in Jesus. Busy days and stress are temporary, but the relationship you have with Jesus is eternal. Take all your worries and burdens to Jesus and remember to focus on Him this Christmas.
