Not To Worry!

God has given me a powerful revelation today. He has spoken to me at least twice, and though I accept His words as truth, I still worry and, yes, even sometimes doubt. I don't doubt God Himself... however, in my 29 years of life, I have never relinquished control to someone else. It's difficult for me to grasp the idea that I can hand my life over to God and still have these things I've asked for. I can be impulsive sometimes, and if I have the means to acquire something I want, I'll go and get it. That's how I've operated since I became an adult.

But, as I read a very good book about building one's faith, I received a very important message, and not from the book itself. The message is this: when God says something will happen, then it's as good as done. We need not worry about it any more. This comes at a time when I've been feeling particularly attacked, and just earlier today I cried out for help.

Technically, it's pretty silly for me to be concerned about these things, because I don't have the power to make them happen anyway. Only God does. But I'm still in the habit of trying to take care of things myself... something I pray God will help me with.

So, take heart. Spend time with God, speak to Him, and listen to what He says. And don't worry. And, if you could, remind me not to worry every now and then. I can certainly use the reminders.
