Do you ever worry? Do you ever think constantly about something that is happening in your life that seems impossible and endlessly difficult and painful? I do. In fact, that has been my daily struggle for the past 6 months. It sometimes amazes me how I can flip from feeling total trust in God's plan to a place where I cannot see anything good coming from my situation. Oh, to be human. Oh, to be sinful and so far from the holiness that God calls me to!
For those of you who are like me, who worry and fret and live an anxiety filled life, I want to leave you with words from my daily devotional. This was yesterday's reading from the book "Jesus Calling" by Sarah Young.
WORSHIP ME ONLY. Whatever occupies your mind the most becomes your god. Worries, if indulged, develop into idols. Anxiety gains a life of its own, parasitically infesting your mind. Break free from this bondage by affirming your trust in Me and refreshing yourself in My Presence. What goes on in your mind is invisible, undetectable to other people. But I read your thoughts continually, searching for evidence of trust in Me. I rejoice when your mind turns toward Me. Guard your thoughts diligently; good thought-choices will keep you close to Me.
Psalm 112:7 and 1 Cor. 13:11
Thanks for sharing! I definitely struggle with worry a lot. Thank you for sharing. I'll pray over both our thoughts tonight and against our worries! Thankful for you my friend!
