We all know the feeling....niggling little worries/concerns about issues that we cant do anything about, yet we cant put the thoughts aside and leave them alone. Sometimes there are bigger concerns/worries that seem to take over our thoughts and lives...we become obsessed. And, then, there are the occasional real fears.....we are paralyzed and can barely function. What do we do?? Jesus addresses this common, helpless feeling. That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life. Look at the birds. They dont plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And arent you far more valuable to him than they are?... Why do you have so little faith? Our faith is what reassures us and calms our worries, anxieties and fears. Sometimes we have to be reminded of when and where we have to put our thoughts, to not allow them to go there. Remind yourself of His grace and love and care by reading the Word. Go to Him in prayer, and ASK for peace! Have faith that He knows your heart, your concerns, and will give you what you ask. A really good mantra, if you will, that I read in a devotional today...Remember, the boat will not sink, and the storm will not last forever. (referring to the storm in the boat with Jesus asleep in Mark) This is having faith - to remember these two facts. I am praying this morning for anyone dealing with personal storms.....just remember.... if you have Jesus in the boat with you, it will not sink! And, the storm WILL pass. Peace be with you, my Facebook Family.
