| Giving our troubles to the Lord |
| 09.04.04 (12:01 am) [edit] |
A few nights ago I went with my mom to the chapel to pray. Before we entered the sanctuary, I noticed a bunch of books outside the room and a bulletin board with postings. I was thumbing through the books and came across one called "Live Passionately" and thought it looked interested. Sure enough, I was immersed in the book before realized I hadn't entered the chapel yet. So I brought it in with me and later asked my mom if I could borrow it. "Sure," she said. "As long as you return it."
I've been reading it since then and I have to tell you this book was meant to be read by me. There's so much basic spiritual points that I really need to focus on, especially lately. All these things have gone wrong and instead of putting my trust in God, I've been dwelling over them and agonizing about how the heck I could have made such stupid mistakes. Fortunately, God also speaks to us through others - if I was in a fellowship group right now, I probably wouldn't be feeling as behind. I've talked to some co-workers on how to deal with stress better and they've all given me great advice.
So my mission for this weekend is to come up with a stress action plan. My fight or flight response needs to be analyzed and through God's grace (and a few epiphanies that'll probably happen when I least expect) I'll learn what things are out of my control, and for the ones that aren't, I'll learn how to deal with them without feeling so guilty.
If you are feeling especially stressed or just beating yourself up for something you did, let me know and I'll pray for you, too. You don't even have to send me a message - I'll just pray for you anyway. God bless!
