Fear can paralyse you!

Psalm 56: 3 – 4 AMP

“When I am afraid, I will put my trust and faith in You. In God, whose word I praise; In God, I have put my trust; I shall not fear. What can mere man do to me?”

My emotional intelligence isn't quite up to standard according to me. I am not someone that is fearful, but I have come to realise that I am anxious. My nerves feel drained. I felt everything is crushing me.

It's like an axe hovering over my head. I am just waiting for something to come crashing down on me. I cannot put my finger on it, but I still have this dread feeling. I need to place my trust in God and yet I seem to miss the point. Within hours I am struggling with a lower backache. It feels like my legs are incapable of moving. I have allowed fear to infiltrate my life again, forgetting God is in control.

I know that my life is in God's hands and that everything will work out just fine. I am anxious about my future and what it holds. I don't know why I feel this way. I wish I could grasp the Word of God and keep it in my heart. "You hem me in behind and before; You have laid Your hand upon me." Psalm 139 verse 5. I keep my eyes focused on You Lord.

I will not allow fear to cripple me today and I know You are all around me.

Prayer

Abba Father, please help me today. Please give me peace for today, guide me. I believe You are with me every step of the way. I love and adore You, thank You Lord for Your loving kindness. In the name of Christ Jesus of Nazareth. Amen

2nd Wedding Anniversary!

Hey, hey it is my 2 nd anniversary! This has been an interesting time in my life and I must be honest I am starting to see the changes in my own life. Firstly remember I am a city girl with this bad ass attitude, my way or the highway. Ah, now let me tell you that doesn’t work like this. My husband has a firm hand over me and keeps me in toe. I am still my own person and have many new interests. How was my day today? Well the normal, got out of bed at 04h30 and then left the house by 06h00 arriving at work at 07h00. Then to top it off in an early morning meeting at 07h30 to 08h30, then back in the office. I worked on three projects; getting information from people isn’t that easy. I firstly completed my own scope of work, followed up with the suppliers and then going back to the next person. As I work according to my time keeping schedule I then finally got to lunch time. I...

Wisdom in Trusting God

Proverbs 3: 5-6 NIV “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.” My journey has been really interesting and there are days when I find it really difficult to trust in God. On those days I go and make all kinds of plans and I think and worry about the matter at hand and at the end of that day I am tired, frustrated and I feel sick to my stomach. Are you able to relate? It sounds so easy when you read these words “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;” Many times I take my problems to the LORD and I leave them with the LORD and after some serious thinking and worrying I go back to the LORD and take the problems back. This has been something I did for a number of years and lately, I have realized it has to change, I have to trust in the LORD. After all, God is the creator and knows the plans for...
