WORRIES...

Hey guys. This week I decided I would send you guys a word of encouragement on "Worries" My devotion this week on worries was exactly what I needed at this time in my life. My husband has officially started his own company and putting complete trust in the Lord that he will Bless this company is sometimes hard when we don't know what the income will be every month... but what we do know is that if we trust in him and put him first he WILL provide.BUT... sometimes it is hard for me to not WORRY about the monthly income... I know every one of us have one of not more than that one something that we worry about so I thought I would share this with you...

1 Peter 5:7 Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.

Have you ever been weighed down by worry? If worry has us in its grip, we feel tired, unproductive, and ineffective. I think we need to understand that he invites us to talk to him. When we show up to pray about something for the 99th time, he does not say Oh, its you again!" he says WElcome, I'm glad you are talkingto me about this. As we keep taling to him, we find calmness and, often, creative solutions.

I have a great exercise if some of you would like to try it. I have a friend that makes a God Bag. She writes this on the outside of a brown paper sack. Then every time she worries, she writes the concern on a scrap paper and drops it into the bag. Once a month, she sorts through the "worries" and sees how God has solved many of them. Any still of concern to her are tossed back into the bag! So... I have found that placing each worry in the God Bag, reminds me that I am trusting him to answer in his time and in his way. ( NOT MINE) YOu know... I have learned that I cant control all the crisis in my life, but I can trust God to guide me though them.

Quote for the night: It is always possible to be thankful for what is given rathen than to complain about what is not given. One or the other becomes a habit of life!!

Hope you enjoyed!!
