ANXIOUS!!!

"Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you". 1Peter 5:7. "Unload all your worries on Him" (Another translation). Few years back I took out a piece of paper and began to write down the things that troubling me. It ended up with a list of 21 items. On careful examination I found out that none of the items were world-shaking or life and death situations. Trivial though they are, had a cumulative effect that weighed heavily on my soul and body. Then the Lord led me to this verse in the Bible (1Peter 5:7). Either He carries the worry or we do, right? If we do, we will be divided, distracted, disturbed, confused, frustrated, and burdened. If He carries the load, we may still have the trouble and difficulties, but no overwhelming anxiety, no dominating fear, and no hopeless despair. Tada. We fear that if we submit our lives to Jesus, he will mess things up. We secretly fear He can't be trusted to care of us. So we decide to handle the problems ourselves. Bro: what kind of God are we serving and believing? Until this question is settled in our life, we will be worrying. My friends, make up your mind today. Your problem or your God is bigger? My father used to tell me "It is good to remember that the tea kettle, although up to its neck in hot water, it continues to sing". STOP WORRYING! ANXIOUS, GO AHEAD, BUT REMEMBER YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT EITHER!!!
