What if ....

By nature, I tend to be a worry wart , but God has been

helping me lately to put things in His hands and not worry

so much about things that I can't control anyways.

I thought I was doing pretty good until last night

when a family situation arose that I can't even

begin to control. I had a good cry fest and

got up to this devotion in my email today.

Just what I needed ~

"Jesus calls us to a way of living that gives no thought for

tomorrow and puts our future wholly into His hands.

He tells us,

not to be be anxious or troubled about tomorrow.

When you think about it, most of our anxieties are

about what might happen tomorrow.

We're constantly harrassed by two little words: What if ?

What if the economy fails and I lose my job?

How will I pay the mortgage?

How will my family be able to survive?

And what if I lose my health insurance?

If I get sick or have to be hospitalized

we will be ruined. Or,

What if my faith fails me in trying times?

We all have a thousand "What if "anxieties.

God tells us not to worry about these what if's and

that He will take care of us no matter what happens.

{and I love this next part}

We gladly give all our yesterdays to the Lord,

turning over past sins. We trust Him for forgiveness

of all our past failures, doubts, and fears.

So, why don't we do the same with

our tomorrows.

Blessings~
