Truth I Need.
(I read this is my devotional this morning.)
Jesus Calling by Sarah Young
"Approach problems with a light touch. When your mind moves toward a problem area, you tend to focus on that situation so intensely that you lose sight of Me. You pit yourself against the difficulty as if you had to conquer it immediately. Your mind gears up for battle, and your body becomes tense and anxious. Unless you achieve total victory, you feel defeated.
There is a better way. When a problem starts to overshadow your thoughts, bring this matter to Me. Talk with Me about it and look at it in the Light of My Presence. This puts some much-needed space between you and your concern, enabling you to see from My perspective. You will be surprised at the results. Some times you may even laugh at yourself for being so serious about something so insignificant."
Yep. I freak out over little things and big things.
I focus on them until I am rattled.
I dig myself into a pit.
My mind sways like ocean waves.
With all the unknowns, I need to focus on Him.
Praying it sinks in.
Steadying the waves.
