“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”
Philippians 4:6 NASB1995
A roller coaster ride, it doesn’t just go up and down, it has twists and turns and it goes at high speeds until it nears and reaches its destination. That’s what it’s been for me this past week. Family troubles, love of my life feeling ill, my grades teetering on barely pass in a class, friends showing signs of anger (for being truthful in faith), people taking advantage of my kindness; not a weakness in my eyes, but trying me, testing me to see if I’ll pop…I’m ashamed to say for a moment I did…but I apologized and made amends. But in the midst of it all I prayed, I called Jesus to take the wheel, I left and leave my family in His Hands, and I pray that those who see me as enemy will allow God to work in their hearts that we may be reconciled in Christ. I gave God the anxiety (no longer identifying as “my” anxiety) and I am praying to give the same grace I have received. My Adonay never lets me down. So again, I am grateful for these moments in hindsight, because the more I battle, the stronger my faith is in victory when triumphant. We have to lay it in His Hands. It may seem redundant or repetitive, but that’s what I have…pray and let God, God. Blessings!!!
