Worry is Like a Rocking Chair Chapter 8 week 8

Good morning ladies,
     I pray you all had a wonderful week. I did and I went to an amazing women's retreat this weekend. We will talk about all that in another chapter. Chapter 8 touched my heart in so many ways, worry is not something to play with. I is not just nothing if you know what I mean. Worry takes you away from faith and without faith we can't please God. Chapter 9 is about faith and we will talk about all that next week, so make sure you read the chapter.
  
     OK, so enough rambling. I am going to go over this chapter now :) . George Muller said: " The beginning of anxiety is the end of faith. The beginning of true faith is the end of anxiety." I had to think about this allot. I know the word says "without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him" (NASB), so when we worry are we limiting what we believe and know God can do in our lives. I think we do and it should not be this way. Matthew 6:26 Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father keeps feeding them. Are you not worth much more than they? Think about these things how much are we limiting God in our lives. When we worry we are shutting the door to faith and not allowing God to work in our lives. When God said He is our provider, healer, savior, He is the blessed controller of all things, but we have to allow Him to be in our own lives. Do you remember the hymn "Leave it there" If not here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSMK6UqAAPY&feature=related. Please listen I know this is not modern, but it is true and this song is perfect for leaving all your burdens with the Lord.

     Ask God to teach you to trust Him in all the areas of your life. Don't let worry become your middle name. I have struggled with this for years and God told me to study all I can on faith, it is the opposite of worry. Next week we will talk more about faith. I love you all and have a wonderful day....
