Remember the Bible story of Martha complaining to Jesus about her sister not helping her serve their guest?
Luke 10:39,41-42 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. . . . . [41] And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: . . . . [42] But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
When we come into the presence of Jesus — in prayer, Bible reading, worship, etc. — the burdens of life tend to grow amazingly light.
In His presence we find food for our souls and strength for our journey.
The more time we spends at His feet, the easier it is to make it a priority in life. The larger He gets in our eyes, the smaller other things seem to become.
Are you spending time at His feet calling out to Him about your needs? Never fear that He doesn't care or want you to come to him. He invites you to come and sit at His feet.

“Sitting at the feet of Jesus, — Oh, what words I hear Him say! — Happy place! so near, so precious! — May it find me there each day;
“Sitting at the feet of Jesus, — I would look upon the past; — For His love has been so gracious, — It has won my heart at last.
“Sitting at the feet of Jesus, — Where can mortal be more blest? — There I lay my sins and sorrows, — And, when weary, find sweet rest;
“Sitting at the feet of Jesus, — There I love to weep and pray; — While I from His fullness gather — Grace and comfort every day.”
