In the meantime.think POSITIVELY! Also remember, prayer without works is dead. Pray, surrender your concerns and needs to God, and He will take care of the rest.
But there is a difference between being reasonably concerned and being overly obsessive. Be concerned about something, whether its that new job you want, or that test you're not too sure about, or those last dollars you need to stretch to pay for your rent. (yeah I'm working on it! :-) )What good comes out of that? On the other hand, it doesn't benefit you to be absolutely aloof about things either. But look at it this way.what good does worrying and being anxious about something do for you? For me, I get massive headaches, I cry, and I snap out on people. The message that I got from it was through prayer and maintaining your faith and trust in God, He will provide for you. Of course, every person who reads this may possibly come up with a different interpretation. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me-put it into practice. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.Ĩ Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things. Lately when I find myself getting stressed out, I turn to this.Ħ Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. When I read this passage, it helped me put a lot of things into perspective.
My relationship with God is nowhere near where I want it to be, nor where it should be, but I am trying. With everything that has been going on in my life these past two years, I'm finding myself leaning more on God and his word than I have previously. I came across a scripture that I wanted to share that has put so many things into perspective. A few weeks ago, I literally gave myself a headache thinking about the what ifs regarding my future, and thinking about all of the things I had on my to-do list for the rest of the semester. Sometimes, things happen to us, and we have NO CONTROL over what happens. Life happens, and we're faced with many tough decisions. Lately I've been noticing myself, and many of my loved ones in a constant state of nervousness, worry, panic, and dealing with all of the crazy, mixed up emotions that come along with it. So I just wanted to share a lil' something with you guys. Also, I'm on Spring Break this week, I have some more spare time on my hands. But I always find my back back to the things that I started. I haven't been on my blog in FOREVER! So much has been going on! School started back up again, along with some other distractions.
