Worries

Worries, worries, worries. So many things to worry about today. How will we pay the three payments we just missed? Will I get the money Christine owes me? Will we be able to afford to go home for Thanksgiving? Will I get Marty's roof done? Will we ever live free of money worries? How will we ever start saving for the future? How long can I go on working two jobs before I crash?

God, these worries cloud my heart. They are a heavy burden, and I know you didn't intend for me to carry them alone. I know that you take care of us, and you always will. I know that you've never given me any reason to doubt you, and yet I still do! How do I completely rest on you? How do I have faith? How do I release these worries and worship you instead?

God, teach me faith. Teach me reliance. Teach me rest.
