Don't Worry.

"So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today." Matthew 6:34

Worrying and planning ahead are different things. We go to bed with that nagging concern about what will happen "tomorrow."
Sometimes we let this take over our lives. We allow our days to be intruded with these worries, and sometimes we even become depressed. It’s hard to let go of that “nagging concern…” And I know that even through prayer, it won’t always completely leave us- it may still be in our minds, but in a mild fashion and some of the burdening may go away. (Clearly, Jesus is referring to worrying about what will happen in the future and not just literally tomorrow.)

It may be a conflict that troubles us. We may be facing someone who has hurt us or that we have hurt.
But whatever happens, happens for a reason. This is where our faith gets a little shaken up- we have to trust in Him. There is no pre-solidified answer, but that makes it beautiful. It gives people something to believe in. Whether we think so or not, everyone has a natural desire to believe in something.

Jesus wants us to let go of our anxiety. We must live in the present moment.
If we don’t live in the present moment, we will never catch up with ourselves. We will never truly live life in the point in time in which it matters, which basically defies the purpose of trying to live our lives without worrying.
There are too many opportunities we could miss today by worrying about what might happen tomorrow.
The Lord could come between now and tomorrow and all our worry would have been silliness.

"When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul." Psalm 94:19-20

Don’t worry so much. If you do, the life ahead of you is basically meaningless. You must decide to rip out the roots of the “nagging” sensation that occurs within. Take it out, straight from the heart, where it hurts and bothers us the most.

Basically, know that God is there, and to become vulnerable and turn our heart to Him is the best answer. We can’t carry a burden on our own, not for very long, at least… The point is to realize that we need him- even when we don’t feel like praying, or talking to Him at all, we must recognize that it is how we feel. We can take that and just tell Him, You know what? I don’t feel like talking to you, and I don’t want to talk about it right now… But I do know that You’re there and always willing to listen. I’m here, carrying this all on my own, making my own walk difficult. You can take it all away; I just have to give it to you. And until I’m ready to completely let go and turn it over to you, I will just have to endure the rough journey.

My Favourite.

A little something I wrote in approximately three minutes and six seconds to emphasize my interest and preference for the British spelling standard. I typed in frustration as the computer attempted to "correct" the words I fancied. I found this to be very distasteful and irritating. I must, however, include that I don't exactly like every way the British spell certain words or verbs. However, many are well enjoyed and appreciated by me. Here is a short snippet to serve as an example for your reading.

My favourite colour is grey. I find it humorous that some think that it isn't glamourous. I've seen it in a catalogue at the Clackamas Town Centre, the mall with the new theatre. It is an honour to live nearby. Even though it is far enough to where I must drive my automobile there, there is room for analogue between driving and walking. There are quite a bit of metres between my home and the galleria. Despite what many others may think, dialogue may still take place even in the comfort of a modern automobile. I've learnt and dreamt of the day where I can say I merely "leapt" to the Town Centre.

Terrible work, but it gave me an excuse to utilize these words.
