Want to simplify your life? Trust God! You don’t have the physical stamina or the mental capacity to handle career, school, family, health, finances, secrets, failures, successes, enemies, loneliness, hopes, fears, relationships, aging, striving for love, hoping for peace, searching for joy and the unknown all by yourself.  Guess what? You are not supposed to!  You are not created to do it all.  You are created to rely on your Creator.

So, here are six ways to simplify your life:

1. Simplify your life by replacing worry with prayer.  Worry doesn’t help anything…least of all your forehead.  And, people won’t want to play with you.
2. Simplify your life by pleasing God and not trying to please others.  If you try to please people you will be pulled in all directions.  Your life is supposed to be pleasing to God.  This is where you find fulfillment.
3. Simplify your life by focusing on your goals and ignoring all negative criticism.  If you give time to the haters, your goals will always be far away.  Let the haters do what they do.  You do what you do!
4. Simplify your life by minding your own business.  Get it?
5. Simplify your life by cleaning out the clutter of anxiety and stress.  Whatever/whoever is causing you stress needs to be fixed or banished.  Harsh ain’t it?  Remember, stress can kill you.  But you don’t have to let it.
6. Simplify your life by trusting God.  Trusting God is ultimate simplicity.
