Today I woke up anxious. I do this sometimes; I don't know if it has to do with what I'm dreaming or right before my alarm goes off or what. It's a bad feeling though. I just know that I'm going to start obsessing and worrying about things that I don't want to obsess and worry about. I spent a lot of prayer time on this. I didn't worry about other things. I just wanted peace. That's been kind of a running theme for me lately. I knew today was going to be rough. I prayed that I would stay busy at school. That my mind wouldn't wonder. That I could just trust God and not worry. I wrote down several verses...Phillipians 4:6-8, Jeremiah 29:11-13, and Habakkuk 2:3. I read it several times this morning. About half way through my day I finally focused on part of a verse that was really speaking to me...'tell God what you need, and THANK HIM FOR ALL HE HAS DONE and you will experience God's peace.'. I do a really good job of telling him what I need, but I kind of suck at the other part. I thank him quickly then move on to my needs. Today I really thanked him. I praised him. I trusted him. He has answered my prayers so far...why am I worrying? I felt immediate peace. I've done it all day. If any other thoughts I don't want to think about enter my mind I start praising and thanking him all over. It's been amazing. My God is amazing.
