Stress

My life seems to be one long progression of decisions to make from what to plan for dinner, to what is the best way to handle a broken relationship or how to deal with a health problem. I think and think, look at all the possibilities, agonize on what is the right thing to do. Some of these decisions are put off for days because of my Indecision. Too many times I put off the one thing that could relieve my anxiety….”take it to the Lord in prayer”

          Jesus must be sad to see us so stressed and forgetting to ask Him for help. We know He’s there for us, He wants the best for us, He doesn’t want to see us troubled.  Jesus has shown us by His parables, by example, by the words He speaks that He loves us and He wants us to seek His help and comfort.

          By failing to go to Him for help we are not showing Him our faith or our trust in Him.

We need to remember: Psalm 28:7 “The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him and He helps me.” or  “Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him..” and “Do not let your hearts be troubled.”
