Hello Sarah, it sounds like a great idea to me. Our Father can see that your heart is in the right place and he will meet your needs according to his will, so start giving him the praise for it right now! It will show him you have faith and it will make you feel much better to. I want to share the article below with you and join you in prayer too. Take care and May God Bless you!
Father, I give you praise and thanks for already working on this (after all you sent each of us here)! All glory and honor are yours. In Jesus name I pray that THY will is done and I pray in agreement with others here too. Thank you for joining us in prayer and for all of your blessings, Amen
Everything's Going to Be All Right!

Did you know that God wants to make a trade with you? He has a standing offer every minute of every day, and its amazing how few of us actually take Him up on it. He wants you to give Him all your cares, problems and failures. In return Hell give you His peace and joy. On top of that, He promises to protect and take care of you.
God really does want to take care of us, but in order to let Him, weve got to stop trying to take care of ourselves and worrying about every little thing we cant control. Many people would like for God to take care of them, but they insist on worrying or trying to figure out an answer on their own, instead of waiting for Gods direction. They wallow around in puddles of their own worry, wondering why God doesnt give them peace. God
will give us peace, but we must
first give Him our worries.
We give God our worries by trusting that He
can and
will take care of us. By trusting God, were able to rest in Him, knowing that He has the situation well under control. Worry, on the other hand, is the opposite of trust. Worry steals our peace, wears us out physically, and can even make us sick. If were worrying, were not fully trusting God, and well never be able to experience His peace.
What a great trade! We give God our worry, and He gives us His peace. We give Him all our cares and concerns, and He gives us His protection, stability and joy. Thats the privilege of being cared for by Him.
Because He cares for us, He wants us to live in peace and not all tied up in knots of worry. He has ways of guiding us toward peace if were alert enough to sense His direction.
Imagine that youre driving down a road. Along the way there are signs that provide direction or give warning. If you pay attention to the signs and follow their instructions, you will safely reach your destination.
In the same way, on the road of life there are spiritual signs along the way. In order to stay under Gods protection, you must obey these signs that tell you to trust Him and not worry. Dont be afraid; have courage. If youll pay attention to these signs, youll find its easy to stay on course. Youll experience the protection, peace and joy that only God can provide.
However, if you fail to heed the signs, you may notice that the road seems a little bumpier than usual, and you arent as confident in your ability as you once were. You may become anxious about the unknown things waiting around the corner, and even veer off the road.
Anxiety is like putting on a heavy coat on a hot summer day. It weighs you down. Its difficult to move and stifling to wear. According to Websters Dictionary,
anxiety is a state of being uneasy, apprehensive, or worried
. Sometimes this uneasiness is really vaguesomething we just cant put our finger on. All we know is that were uneasy.
You and I dont need to be anxious about tomorrow when we have all we can handle today. Even if we manage to solve all our problems today, well just have more to deal with tomorrow
and more the next day.
Why waste time worrying when its not going to solve anything? Why be anxious about yesterday, which is gone, or tomorrow, which hasnt arrived yet? Trade in your worries today for Gods peace. Remember, everythings going to be all right.
