Worries.

Life is full of worries.
When you're a kid, you worry cause there's no time to play.
When you're a student, you worry cause there's not enough time to study for your exams, not getting good grades.
When you start to work, you worry about not performing up to standard which will hinder your promotion.
When you get married, you worry about getting a house, paying the bills, caring for your partner.
When you have children, you worry about their education, their health cause you love them.

Here I am at a stage of my life where there's school, Student Org, church, family, Ben. And i worry. I worry a lot. Especially today, i worry about how i'm gonna survive a crazy day today - one meeting after another, probably with some short breaks in between. I worry about how i'm gonna speak to my people. I worry about how i carry myself during the meeting.
So much worries that i feel so anxious about today.

As i'm typing this, i'm reminded that all i'm thinking about right now is me. Where is God in the picture? He has promised me peace when i worry. He has promised to provide for me and to watch over me, just as He did to the Israelites - even though they were so ungrateful to Him.

It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed. (Deuteronomy 31:8)

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. (John 14:27)

Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Phil 4:6-7)

Do I still worry?
