"Living in dependence on ME is a glorious adventure. Most people scurry
around busily, trying to accomplish things through their own strength
and ability. Some succeed enormously; others fail miserably. But both
groups miss what life is meant to be: living and working in
collaboration with Me. When you depend on Me continually, your whole
perspective changes. You see miracles happening all around, while others
see only natural occurrences and 'coincidences.' You begin each day
with joyful expectation, watching to see what I will do. You accept
weakness as a gift from Me, knowing that My Power plugs in most readily
to consecrated weakness. You keep your plans tentative, knowing that My
plans are superior. You consciously live, move, and have your being in
Me, desiring that I live in you. I in you, and you in Me. This is the
intimate adventure I offer you." ~Jesus Calling by Sarah Young
This week's blog topic from Proverbs 31 OBS is on “Worry”… AND I know a thing or two about worry. I’m betting a lot of you reading this do as well. Dictionary.com defines worry as: “ to torment oneself with or suffer from disturbing thoughts; fret. ” Torment oneself. Suffer. Fret. That’s what I can do to myself sometimes. I’ve heard that if you worry you don’t really trust that God can handle it. You don’t trust God with it. That’s hard to swallow for me. Because I worry about my kids, my family, me, friends, etc. But I’m in the Bible every single day. I am a Jesus girl. So for me to worry and then see that my worry means I don’t trust that God can handle it is hard. UGH. I am getting better about it though. My time with God every morning is helping. When I start to worry about something…I begin to pray. I stop the tormenting in its tracks and give it to Jesus. Now, I may have to give it to Jesus more than once.
