Worry... anxiety... stress. None of them come from You, my Lord. None. I don’t want them. They only dishonor You and take my eyes off of You. No need to worry since You are sovereign and in perfect control of all things.
But... Botox injections are coming up later this week. The thought of having up to 31 injections in my head is not calming to me, Lord. Help! Yes, I know You will take hold of me and will carry me through the shots, the side effects and their efficacy.
Then... news today that my Daddy is getting much weaker. It is hard to know that he is getting worse. It is hard to know that one day he will no longer be here on earth to talk to and to enjoy. While it is comforting to know that our separation will only be temporary, it is still hard.
Still more... You know, Abba Father.
So, Lord, with all of these things hovering over me, I only have You to turn to. Who else can I go to? No one. Work it all out in Your good, acceptable and perfect will and guide me every step of the way. You know the outcome of all these things and will strengthen, help and uphold me amidst them all. Keep my eyes on You. Thank You for being my Refuge, Deliverer, Protector and Shepherd. Thank You for listening to my cries. WE will get through all that threatens to overwhelm me. They pale in light of You and Your greatness, power and love. Praise You from Whom all blessings flow.
