All the time

I worry too much, really, it's not good. I get so caught up in thinking that I need to be in control of my life, and that I need to know exactly when things are going to happen; why they're going to happen; and what I should be doing about it. It's things like these that sometimes plague me at night because I can't shut off my brain. Today I was worrying about money, and how I was going to buy a car, and how I was also going to pay for this fall semester at school.

After fretting about it for quite some time, I was gently reminded that God is sovereign, and He is in control. Even though I might think my life is spinning out of control, He is holding it all in His hands. And He has a plan for me. I don't need to always know what's going to happen or what I'm going to do, but rather I just need to trust in Him and rest in His promises that He will take care of me. Not even a sparrow falls to the ground without God knowing about it (Matthew 10:29).

I know that He holds the future, and I can face tomorrow because of Him. I have this hope because several years ago, I accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as my Savior. Maybe you haven't, but it's not too late! As one of my friends has said, “Why not give Him a try? He will never fail you.” I honestly couldn't have said it better myself.

Going along with what I said about worrying, I love listening to this song and just remembering that God is good ALL the time. Even when there is nothing good in me. And I can fully trust in Him.
