What am I going to wear today?
What am I going to do at work today?
What am I going to do about or with that person today?
What am I going to do if there’s traffic today?
What am I going to do…

Today, today, today.
That’s such a huge problem.

The Bible clearly states that before you were conceived that God had planned all of the days of your life, and it also states that before you speak a word that He knows what you’re going to say.
He formed and made the world that world in which we live, and that includes US from as far as we can go, both backwards and forwards, from conception through delivery and everything in between. So, with all that being so clearly spelled out, why do we question so many things in this world where God is clearly in control? Yes, Satan has his job clearly cut out, and that’s to take our focus off of God, BUT AS CHRISTIANS our job is to make him fail by keeping our focus in the right place, on God! So, the next time your mind is beginning to fill with questions, just remind yourself, out loud if necessary, that this is God’s world and whatever will happen will happen and God knows about it and has already dealt with it. Now you probably wonder about prayer. Is it necessary them? Well of course it is, but you may want to look at a couple of things differently. God is your Father, so He does very much like to have conversations with you and know how you’re feeling, but remember, your life and the lives of others are already planned out, and you CANNOT change His will, so don’t even try. Even Jesus, who had a much different and closer relationship to God, taught us to pray with thanksgiving and for help \nwith things that we should be doing, and He provides that help, but with respect to others, His plan is already in action."

He’s an awesome God, no doubt!

Imagine, if you will, what kind of a God He’d be if He just sat around in Heaven making or letting bad things happen and then waiting for us to pray about what we wanted changed. Pretty ridiculous and bringing Him down to our level, wouldn’t you say?

I can’t tell you how relaxed I feel and how much I truly feel God’s presence and love and care since realizing this, and I know that you will too!
