WORRY!!
WORRY
Okay, so here is the second edition of "Courtney's Struggles." I think that is what I am gonna call my little blogging adventure here! Today's topic will be on worry . . .
*:.WORRY.:*
And they know that thy name will put their trust in thee; for thou LORD has not forsaken them that seek thee.
Psalms 9:10
He shall call upon me and I shall answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him
Psalms 91:15
So, I have also had a lot of worry in my life lately worry about my past and especially worry about my future! I worry about whether or not I am deserving of all the good things that are going on in my life, and I worry about not making others upset (which is impossible if you live on a floor FULL of only girls!) And I have come up with the conclusion that I worry far too often over too many small and trivial things in my life. I see people walking down the street wondering where their next meal is coming from, or even where they will sleep tonight, but they are not worried. They know that their is a resteraunt throwing out scraps somewhere. And that no matter how hard, there is a park bench somewhere where they can rest their weary head. Yet I walk around worrying about what I look like, if I am going to be late to an appointment, and if I am going to have enough money to buy that shirt from American Eagle that I wanted. I do not realize that God tells me that he will provide for my needs and that every need I have will be met. If I worry about something, and it goes wrong, it wasn't a need, and I need not worry about it. I have this theory that the only worry in life is whether or not you live your life through Christ. If you do not live life with Christ now, you are not allowed to live life with him eternally. So worry only about whether you are living life in the Lords glory and light. Oswald Chambers once said "Fretting Springs from a determination to get in our OWN way" So really this worrying that we do, is it worry because we have a reason to worry, or because we are afraid to be who we really are, and let the light of Jesus shine through us? Are we blocking who we really are and being scared that we will be found out, or are we finally realizing that we cannot be worry free without Jesus Christ? What kind of worry are you possessing? Worry of whether or not you are living a life through Christ or worrying away your life with Christ?
*:. PRAYER.:*
Dear God, You know how easily I fall into worrying. Teach me to catch my worries before they run away with me --and then give them to you. If my life is in your hands, then I have nothing to fear. AMEN!
