Doing it all alone?

Was really challenged by this clip (watched up til 2:04); http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sxaoRAZ2c8
Most people are busy, including me, and don't have a lot of time for themselves. But what is that keeps us so busy? Who has told this woman and us that we need to do all this stuff? Have we put unrealistic expectations upon ourselves about what we should achieve?
Think about the guy's response in the clip. Is there anyone else that can help bear our loads? i thought about how the man's response is probably like God's response to us when we feel overwhelmed with what's going on. He is there and willing to help. We need to talk to Him, let him know our internal discomfort and He can help us, just ask.
Be brave when doing that though because God may suggest some changes! Maybe re-prioritising some things. Are you prepared to let a few things go that are important to you if God says so? That's the real challenge. Seeking what God wants and doing it, despite how you might feel. Let me assure you that if you choose God's way, He will never let you down. He can provide the peace that surpasses all understanding.
