Well the title is basically the only way I could describe my life right now. these three things have been what I have been thinking about non-stop.
So if you know me, you know I am a big worry wart. I cant help it. I worry about everything, and if there's nothing to worry about I will find something. That is so a terrible, I know. So Why worry? Why do I worry when I know that Jesus has already taken care of it?
Its because I am putting the situation into my own hands, and not his. Ladies and Gentlemen, we just cannot do this. You can try for a while, but I promise you its not going to work.
We must always put our worries and trust in Jesus. Always. It is the only way that we will overcome it. Also, worrying just causes us to make the situation worse, and drive ourselves crazy thinking about it. I have recently, began to make sure when anything goes wrong to pray about it. I pray about it over and over and give it all up to him. I know that no matter the outcome, it is going to be the best thing for me. Always know that even when the outcome isn't what you wanted it to be, Jesus is watching over you. He will not let something happen that is going to hurt you.
Fear kind of ties into the whole worry part. I have small fears and big fears. the Fear of the future and not being ready, the Fear that things wont go as planned, and the Fear of not being accepted by others for who I am. these are all examples of fears I have , as well as many other people.
If you let fear take over parts of your life, you need to put an end to that now.
Just like worry, we must let go of these fears and know Jesus is with us! The fears don't let us continue forward, but only bring us down. If you are too afraid to show who you really are, then you are hiding from yourself. Show the world who you are, and how Jesus works in your life. Show them how his love have changed you from who you used to be, even if it scares you.
The most important thing in fixing all of these problems is spending time with Jesus. even if worry and fear aren't something you deal with, whatever it is he is going to take care of it. Since school has started back, I have tried to take matters into my own hands and not give them to him, and I am struggling. I didn't spend quality time with him, and I realized that fixing my problems on my own wasn't going to work. Its not just Sunday mornings, or Wednesdays nights, its gotta be everyday. And yes we will fall and forget, but just because that happens doesn't mean he has forgotten you. He just cant. We are his sons and daughters and just like my pastor said. "Nothing we can do can make him love you more, and nothing we can do can make him love you less".
