Storms inside...




Do you walk around with a smile on your face when you feel anything but joy? That's not necessarily bad, forcing a change in your attitude can change your current despair. Do you lack peace in your mind and spirit? Many people do but you must realize that only God can give you true peace. Do your friends think you've got it all together but you know your life is in turmoil? It doesn't matter what they think, it won't change anything. God knows how you feel regardless of how you appear on the outside. Are you tired of playing games? You should be; life is too short to play games with your emotions. Are you a people pleaser regardless of how that effort affects you personally? Pleasing people should not be your goal in life. You must do what you know in your heart is the right and only way to go. You can never please everyone, so don't even try. Do you feel that people you know are not honest with you and talk behind your back? Over ninety percent of times when you see people talking and you think their talking about you, they're not! Why do we worry about things we have no control of? Have you ever fretted over something and the next day you asked yourself, what was the big deal? I have been known to worry and then when I was done worry some more. If you can change the situation for the better then do it. If not turn it over to the Lord.

Sound simple? It is...


Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
1 Peter 5:7
