"Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don't get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when they come up." - Matthew 6:34 [The Message]
So I apparently have anxiety issues. Last night I couldn't sleep because I was just freaking out. I had read this passage over and over in the NIV version, but I was too lazy to pull out the NIV last night so I grabbed the Message and I really like how that last verse was phrased. Currently I'm going through a lot of changes and not really getting what I neccesarily want and because I have control issues that I'm currently trying to work on...I just worry. I worry that what happens when the time comes and what I want doesn't happen. How will I deal? How will I make it through? Then I read this and felt so stupid and self-centered. God will be there. He'll hold my hand through it all. Plus who's to say that it won't happen? I'm just a worry-wart. The first part kind of grabbed my attention though, it kind of goes along with that song I was talking about. My entire attention to what God is doing right now. Right now is where I'm supposed to be focusing. Getting back on the right path with God. Following his will for my life. Listening to him. That's what I'm supposed to be doing. Not worrying about the future. Right now. This moment is the only thing that matters.
