Worries Day 2

So therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6v34

When I think of what I did yesterday, I cannot believe how much time I spent worrying about today as apposed spending time with the Lord.  ‘What shall I eat tomorrow at lunch time?’ ‘What shall I wear for work tomorrow?’

 When will we get over the fact that God provides for tomorrow? We must stop leaning on our own understanding for a change and trust in God. He takes care of the birds in the air and the flowers in the field that has no care but the just fly and blow in the wind. I don’t want to spend my days just torturing myself with questions like these above. No! My God will not catch me worrying about something that He said he would take care of. I make a promise to myself again now that; I will stop worrying about trivial things that God can take care of. 

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6

If you are a natural stresser if we could call it that, then it is time for you to make up your mind about your ways and God’s ways. If up till now your ways brought you nowhere in life, then you should come to the party and let God do for you what you cannot do for yourself.

Prayer for the day:

Dear Lord Jesus. I am a stressful person. I always do what I feel is right and best for my family. I make decisions on everyone’s behalf. If things don’t go my way, I get so angry that I just want to walk away. I realize now in my conviction that You are the one who has kept me through all these years. You are the one who took those huge stumbling blocks and rolled them away. You are the one who healed my diseases. Lord, you are the one that made my husband stop drinking. Lord, you know what is best for me. You know how to deal with me. So today, Lord I ask for your forgiveness and I ask you to help me to not lean on my own understanding anymore. I know now that I am nothing without you and will remain nothing until I accept the fact that you know best.  Thank you for being so patient with me all this time. I love you, Lord. Amen
