I guess you could say I am pretty stressed out about the coming week. Unfortunately this anxiety is ruining the week I am currently in. I can't sleep. I mostly eat out of obligation. Usually, surrounding myself with friends or family or getting it all out there eases the pent up frustration but lately it only seems to intensify or add to my frustration.
I find that the root of my problem is that ultimately I am not trusting God with the outcome and giving Him control. In Bible study Wednesday night Don led us in a discussion of Colossians 4:2-6. In verse 2 Paul says to pray with thanksgiving. By doing so we say that we trust God and His plan, whatever the outcome. First of all, I don't pray as I ought to....out of divine necessity. Second, I realize that I am most concerned with the outcome, and don't really trust God's plan. If I did, I would not live the way I do, worrying about everything.
Don't take the above statement the wrong way. I am most grateful for those of you out there who have recently befriended me and tried to encourage me. But you simply can't do for me what it is I need to do. I need to get on my knees and pray. You can, however, pray for me.

You know... it's so crazy because I seem to be having problems lately as well. I think it's due to my classes but I've become distant lately with God. I pray and everything but I'm missing something... I think it has a lot to do with me not reading the bible every morning and every night like I've done in the past and it's really affected me in subtle ways. But, whatever is going on in your life I hope you're able to figure things out and trust the Lord that all things will fall into place accordingly and, if you need to, ask Him for help in allowing you to trust Him. Good Luck!
AMEN! I am really stuck on that as well. I'm trying so hard, but i guess not enough, to just let him handle it all, and not to worry or complain.
Hey, I can not give you any advise. I am struggling trying to keep my balance as well with everything. All we can do is to remember to keep God first, and be okay with whatever he throws our way.
