Not Time For the Anxiety

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7

My biggest problem in life has been worrying...anxiety. I have had the hardest time learning how to pray then hand it over to God and quit worrying about it. Worrying never has been for anything good but to give you ulcers. It doesn't give you answers and it won't change anything. AND if you worry, then you aren't having faith in God.

I think what we 'worry' about it just how God is going to answer our prayers. We know how WE want it to come out, but God may have a different answer...and we might not be happy with it becuz it is not what WE want.

I've always clung to the phrase 'If you're gonna dance, you have to pay the band.' It is the payment part that gets ya.

I have been one big ball of fury and worry the last two days. It just seemed like things were coming at me from all angles. But now it is time to NOT be anxious...I have to hand the due bill back to God and accept the price and just know that He will work out a payment plan that is best for all concerned. What will be will be and He will not allow anything to happen that He does not want to happen.

So...there are my thoughts and my ramblings for today. May your day go well...your weekend be smooth.
