Delegating Responsibility to...God?

In all my leadership training, I have never really learned the lesson of delegating.

I understand the whole theory behind it, I mean, I am only one person, things would be easier if I could just tell someone else to do a small segment. However, the only time I have ever truly succeeded in doing this is when I either a) Don't know how to do a certain part or b) have completely flopped and need someone else to fix everything for me.

This year was supposed to be the year I learned to delegate.

The fact that I have felt burned out on multiple occasions is finally getting through to me and telling me that "You, Staphon, have failed."

I mean, yes, everything has gotten done, somehow, some way, lots of stress, but I am worse for the ware because of it.

Superman, my own personal moral compass, does everything, all over the world, balancing a Work, a love life (more or less), keeping up with other relationships, and saving the world!

But even he had to join the Justice League. I tend to forget that there are other very capable people around me.

Jesus is another even better example. He did everything, sermons, healing, walking on water, exorcisms, and still found time to have dinner with his friends.

But even he had to rest, And rely on his disciples to steer the ship.

Aren, a very wise friend of mine, was telling us a story about him simply assuming that his father could do something, without even asking him.

I know God can do it all. But for some reason, I feel hard pressed to actually ask him to do it. I have the mentality of The Last Son of Krypton, without any of the superpowers, and I often forget that.

However, if I can learn to rely on God... Its almost like I do have all those super powers, or at least a lot of Super Friends.
