Workaholic or "Doing the Lord's Work"

My roommate and I were sharing prayer requests today and as I thought through what to pray about (there are many things, I try to hone in on one or two at a time) I reflected that I was still feeling "off balance." Another moment's thought with it and I realized the truth: I am a workaholic. If I can't let go of the work I'm doing to relax without guilt, I'm pretty sure that's a bad sign. Yes, in ministry there can be nice terms for this - devoted, determined, dedicated, available, "doing the Lord's work." 

But the truth is that God is the one working. He's just using me. And He cannot use a burnt out, exhausted, overly stressed, worrying me. He wants me resting in Him, trusting Him, and relying fully on Him in/through this all. He wants me to be able to rest, relax and have fun as much as He wants me to work diligently at the tasks He has given me.

I'm glad I'm starting to learn this now - ok, I knew this before, it is just more prominent now. Thankfully, God is gracious and will continue to grow me, continue to teach me that it is truly Him at work - and if He's working He can raise up more people at the right time for the tasks at hand.
