Worrying or being anxious in your mind is not of God. I struggled yesterday with some things and I felt myself panicking inside. It was a mild case but it still was not necessary nor of God. I felt this unsettling all day because I was thinking of everything and I began to look at the circumstances and it all became overwhelming to me. I had to stop, pray and ask the Lord to forgive me. Although my thinking was inappropriate, it was not in any way a reflection of my faith in God. I was not being doubtful for I know my God can do anything for nothing is impossible for Him. I simply got overwhelmed. Have you ever felt that way? We know the bible says to be anxious for nothing but in all things pray, so why did I feel like that? It was simply because I took my eyes off of God and I looked at tomorrow instead of resting in today. I had to rein myself back in by praying myself through it. I shared my feelings with my husband and as he always will tell me, our feelings will lie to us. Ask to be led by the spirit. By thinking about all the mountains we have yet to climb and by mountains, I mean problems, I took my mind off of God's promise. For my Lord tells me that whatever I ask for in prayer and I believe I will receive it, it will be mine. So I claim that scripture today and I ask that the Lord penetrate in to my soul. I love Him and I trust Him to do what is best for me and for you always. I pray that I stop trying to control tomorrow and stop trying to resolve what God asked me to leave for Him. If I am surrendering myself to Him, I cannot waiver. Therefore if you get nervous like me, or anxious in the waiting, stand with me and believe to receive. For this is the year of God's promises and all things will work together for those that love the Lord. Romans 8:28
Mark 11: 22-26
