There have been many "opportunties" for me to to practice trusting God and letting go of worry...sometimes I make progress...sometimes not BUT when you say peeling back worry I guess it is like an onion..many layers and one at a time we peel it.

And it is so very true that fretting over tomorrow's problems (or even the next hour's problems) or possibilities siphons off strength needed for today.Barbara H.http://barbarah.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-66341946471492144572011-04-10T22:21:40.750-05:002011-04-10T22:21:40.750-05:00Thank you!

Someone recently told me I can plan for tomorrow but not panic for tomorrow.<br /><br />I am having trouble understanding the difference, but I'm working on it. I'm also working on dealing with my own "What if it's not perfect." I'm the poster child of The prefect being the enemy of the good. For me if it's not perfect, then why do it?Elisabeth Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18081500403398798837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-13130653606201771452011-04-10T22:20:48.511-05:002011-04-10T22:20:48.511-05:00Tomorrow can never outrun God’s grace.

Then I try to find a scripture promise to dwell on instead of the worry.

And it's true! When bad things happen, I'm always surprised.<br /><br />So now, when I catch myself worrying, I say, "Well, that must mean it's never going to happen." I know this is not fully rational and logical, but percentages are in my favor -- so it's likely that I'm quite right. <br /><br />And it works. I smile and go on through the day, minus one more anxious thought.Cassandra Frearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16564236561567663914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-40237396803415680302011-04-10T18:39:45.169-05:002011-04-10T18:39:45.169-05:00That quote by Max Lucado, with its breakdown of th...That quote by Max Lucado, with its breakdown of the word "worry" reminded me of Psalm 86:11 (as I learned it as a child in the 1984 NIV) "Teach me your way, LORD, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name."<br /><br />It reminds me that having a divided heart (which I often feel I have) is a result of not relying on the faithfulness of God.<br /><br />Thus I pray, as David did, that God would teach me His way, that I might rely on His faithfulness; that God would give me an undivided heart, that I might fear His name.bekahcubedhttp://bekahcubed.menterz.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-51602888373402177262011-04-10T17:46:20.515-05:002011-04-10T17:46:20.515-05:00Thank-you for this timely post.
