We all worry. We shouldn't because God tells us that worry will not add one minute to our lives or be productive in any way, but being human, yep, you guessed it we worry. And then there's fear, when fear creeps in and you allow it to build up and you dwell on it, well, that isn't good either. Worry and fear causes anxiety, which can cause a whole bunch of other problems.
I have Jesus Christ in my life and I know HE is in control of everything, so why do I worry? Because not worrying about things is a hard habit to break. But that is what it is. And God also tells us that he did not give us a spirit of fear, that is from the enemy, satan.
When my husband, fell ill earlier in the week and suffered a mini stroke, you can bet I was worried and afraid of what would happen. How it would affect him, would it go into a full blown stroke? Well, Praise God, it didn't go into a full blown stroke and he is home with me now, recovering, regaining his strength back, but in that small instance where I knew what was happening, I would be lying if I said I wasn't worried or afraid, but on the way to the hospital, I knew God was with me and him and I knew that if it wasn't time for Mike to go home to the Lord, he would be okay.
The problem I have been having this week is worrying about Mike when he is alone. I know he is an adult, not a baby, but what if__________________? The what if's are the worst. So once again I have to remember that God is in Control and He has a plan for all of us. It's my pleasure and privilege to trust him. To have faith that His will for my life and those I love is so much better than I could ever imagine.
So, when worry and fear creep in on me, I give all of it to God and let him deal with them. He reminds us that when we are weary, to take his yoke and let Him carry our burdens, the problem is, how many of us, myself included, really remember that.
Whatever I may be thinking at the time and just want to share with friends you will find it in this blog.
