Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my
anxious thoughts. ~ Psalm 139:23
It’s
easy to say “I trust God” and “I’m not anxious at all” when you’re not waiting
for anything. Just a few days in on
waiting on God to move and I found myself mentally pacing (it’s more exhausting
to pace in your mind than to pace the floor).
But then each night as I put my daughter to bed, I sing to her a song
about casting her cares on the Lord. If I’m
going to teach my little one to give up all her anxious thoughts and burdens to
the Lord, shouldn’t I start by first exemplifying what I’m telling her to do?
Thank
you, Father God for sending me a reminder of how my life should be lived in such
a cute and cuddly package like my daughter.
Help me to teach her to follow after you by first living out that
example in my own life. And Father, help
me to remember that my shoulders are not big enough to carry all that the world
wants to pile upon them, but yours are.
Thank you, Lord. It’s in Jesus’
Name I pray, Amen.
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
~ 1 Peter 5:7
