Why Worry? Is’nt God in Control?

1 Chronicles 4:10 (ESV)

^“10Jabez called upon the God of Israel, saying, “Oh that you would bless me and enlarge my border, and that your hand might be with me, and that you would keep me from harm so that it might not bring me pain!” And God granted what he asked.”

I find that when I am worried, it's all because I am focused on something physical and not on the LORD. Isaiah 26 verse 3 is a vers I am focusing on "You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on YOU because he trusts YOU."

I always wake up saying "thank YOU, Lord, for today." My priority must start with speaking to God. I need God's guidance and I am constantly asking HIM for wisdom. I say that I want to start my days off with asking God for guidance. I am asking God to help me make the right decisions. When I do something I am now posing this question "Is this God approved?" Does this carry God's approval for my life?

I am really trying very hard to change my negative attitude. I want to find out what God wants for my life. I want God to help me in taking the right decisions, thinking the right thoughts and working on my words in my mindset. I am calling God to help me live the life HE has purposed for me.

Prayer

LORD You, are my shepherd I believe I shall not want. Lord, please bless me as I persevered and help me stand the test. I desire the crown of life. Lord please bless me and enlarge my border, and that Your hand might be with me, and that you would keep me from harm so that it might not bring me pain. Please, Lord, I pray for Your peace, which the world cannot give and let my heart not be trouble I will not be afraid. All this Lord I pray according to YOUR Word in Jesus Christs Name. 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...
