I try to understand what’s going on around me, but my mind comes up empty. The Lord’s spirit is upon me and I know that worrying is useless and time consuming.
Matthew 6:17 KJV “Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?”
What will worrying do for me? It will rob me of valuable time with my children and family. Still- through it all, I find myself complaining instead of being grateful. We need to make active efforts to be more positive and thankful for all of our bountiful blessings. I know; The act of being joyful in our times of darkness is definitely not easy.
In my life, I’ve always had good & bad going on at the same time. What I mean is, I am grateful for where I’m living right now. At the same time, I’m heartbroken by the distance between myself and the family that I spent 33 years around. Jesus was 33 when he died for us. Some part of me tells me that this number has significance in my life. Jesus died to give me a chance to start over. Then, God opened the door that Jesus suggested, to allow me to escape from the pain we were all enduring. We were both 33 years old.
I feel better knowing that God is in control, so my little family is safe.
“You are my hiding place;
you will protect me from trouble
and surround me with songs of deliverance.”
Psalm 32:7
Lord, let our hearts open up to the many things we need to be grateful for, instead of worrying about. Thank you for your ever flowing presence in the darkest parts of our lives. Help us to have hearts like yours. In your beautiful name we pray, Amen
