If God wasn't so merciful, we would all be headed for hell, with no hope in sight. Now, Im the kind of person who worries more than is necessary. No, it's much worse than it sounds. It's like this is my list of things to do for the day:
1.Worry
2.Go To School
3.Worry About School
4.Babysit
5.Worry About What This Person Said
6.Go To Bed
7.Worry About Tommorow
Ya get what Im sayin'?
Im pretty sure that I worry to cover up my insecurities. Yes, I know that sounds silly, but it's the truth. When I first realized that I worry WAY too much, my first instinct was to justify my sin. Thankfully, the older I get, the easeir it gets for me to come face to face with my sins, but, it is still tempting to justify them and skip the hard part, which is admitting them. But we all know, that the right thing to do (and the thing that will do us much more good than damage) is what God calls us to do, no matter how bad the consequences seem to be. The only way I could possibly ever get through any problem, is to give it all, 100%, up to God, through faith. My faith isn't the strongest either. But that's where prayer and God's word come in handy. :) It doesn't matter how bad we mess up. Whether it's lying becuase your ashamed, (in my case) worrying to hide your insecurities, putting down others to make yourself feel better, or even just doing something that you know you shouldn't do. Whatever it is, there is a hope and a relief that we can find in Christ, through love and grace.
Amen to that, Dannah! I am a big worrier, too! I am definitely going to try to do better at not worrying.
ReplyDelete:) It's been kind of difficult to change from worrying about everything so much, but I have God's help and guidance. What more could I need or want? :)
