I am prone to worry. Actually I am prone to worry about nearly everything AND fear of disapproval.
And yet, with all that's going on, last Thursday while dining with my darling friend J, I had a moment when I recognized my worry and fear for what they were and decided to trust in God's perfect love and in God's perfect plan for me.
What a relief!
There's a sort on non-debatey debate online about whether or not God urges us to avoid worry 365 times in the Bible. I don't really care about the debate. I don't really care whether there are 365 urgings. I don't really care about the non-debatey debate. Still, I read a ton of articles focused on worry and on God's love letter to us (yes, the Bible). And you know what? I'm not going to worry again - at least for now. If God said it once, that's enough for me.
"Fear not. I am with you."
Peace feels good.
