Worry and Anxiety

Amy's turn

I tend towards worry and anxiety.  I can worry over anything and everything, and do.  My biggest worry right now is getting to Colorado. Of course, when we do I'll have a whole different set of worries. Anyways,  there is always something to worry about.  Recently I've been learning that worry and anxiety are about not trusting God.  I've also learned in recent years that I'm a incredibly hard headed person, who does not learn the easy or fast way.  So, I'm working on not worrying, and not being anxious. But more importantly I'm working on trusting God and not my own understanding.
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.  I really wish that I could tell you that I'm doing good in this area or that I'm at least making some head way but I'd be lying. David says I trust God more, but I'm just as anxious. Yes, I did just pole him for his opinion and he did  give me that 'oh crap' look.  I'll continue to plod along and trust God that one day at a time I can worry less than the day before. 

This brings to mind all the worry worts out there, I pray for you. I know and understand your heart. My heart is your heart. 

This is not how God made me. God did not make us to worry or be anxious. Phil. 4:6-7 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
