anxiousness
In less than 90 minutes, the election ads for 2007 will cease. Hooray! But until then, every second ad will be election based until then I think - so I might go to bed in a second.
Today wasn’t the greatest day at all - actually, the morning wasn’t too bad, but the arvo wasn’t overly fantastic as I stressed about some stuff at work. But I finally left that place, and came home to bible study. As I prayed to start the evening off, I prayed that we would have open hearts and listen to what God was saying. At the time, I wasn’t really thinking of myself - I was really praying that for my brothers [not consciously ... it's just what I was thinking at the time]. Anyway, we started looking a chunk in Phillipians, toward the end of the book. And as the evening went on, I realised that God was kinda poking me, and this one bit stood out at me constantly…
“Do not be anxious about anything.”
It’s pretty clear; pretty direct. Can’t really argue or side-step it. And so that really hit me for 6 tonight.
There’s lots of other little bits around that sentence that got to me and made me realise I need to do some work on my life. But that one sentence stood out… especially considering the arvo and evening I’d had at work, worrying about all sorts of stuff. So I spent some time praying quietly to myself this evening, and will spend some more time later on - just asking God to help me not be anxious, and asking Him to help me with the crap at work.
So that was cool. Just wanted to share that with you.
