Any Given Day: 8

Worried about something? Someone once said that worry was negative meditation. Fixating on a problem without taking action is wasted energy, and affects your outlook and behavior. Fixating on stuff you can't control makes you miserable. We walk around heavy and it keeps us from being our best!

There is always something you can do, however!

Pray about it. God asks us to come to Him in times of trouble. The bible is full of stories of historical figures, both important and insignificant, who come to God with their troubles and are granted answers, comforted, or issues are resolved. Solutions may not come immediately, or in the form we would like them to, but crying out in faith can work miracles! God has his reasons for things. Trusting that He not only heard you, but cares about you, is key. He knows your heart, He already knows your desires and needs. He is waiting to hear from you so you can grow in you faith in Him and His Son.

Lord, my troubles are wearing me down. I am worried and upset. I have little control over the burdens I carry. Please take them from me today. Give me the ability to walk in faith knowing that you have my best interests at heart. I trust in You and Your son, AMEN
