Is Worry Worth It?

Since my blogging experience is very limited, I'm not sure what direction to take with mine. I may just have a potpourri of topics and stories. Please be patient while God and I try to find the direction for me.

This blog will be about something I have been dealing with lately, WORRYING! As a christian I know that all I have to do is lay the problem or worry at God's feet and He will take care of it. He already knows how it is going to end up anyway and all my interference could possibly do is mess things up.

Okay, that is my sensible side that just spoke. Let's hear from the not so sensible side now. It has always been my tendency to worry about something for a while then turn it over to God. Then I may take it back awhile, give to God, take it back, you see the pattern. I like to solve the problem that I am worrying about myself. I can't stand problems without answers and can't rest until the answer is found. I know, unrealistic isn't it?

There is a situation in my family right now that is causing me a lot of worry but there isn't a thing I can do to change the outcome or direction. Just this morning in church the pastor talked about this very thing and how all we have to do is take it to God, leave it and consider it answered. My heart knows that but my head doesn't seem to be able to grasp it.

I'd like to think that I'm not the only one who does this. Any others? Come on now, be honest! I thought so!

Why do we as humans who profess to be Christians refuse to step out in faith and accept God's help. Here we have Someone waiting in the wings telling us that He has the answer and would be happy to relieve us of our burden all we have to do is hand it over to Him. No strings attached or anything!

Worry is such an unhealthy thing too! It causes wrinkles, ulcers, headaches, just to name a few side effects. In my case it causes over eating! If I am stressed or worried I eat and eat and eat..................you get the picture. Then I have to add depression on top of worry because I hate too much! It's just a vicious circle!

Help me to accept God's help and put these worries in His hands so I can move on to something more fun!



Until next time

Love and Hugs!
