Today was day one of my "new outlook" on worry and how to combat it in my life. I think I managed to do alright. I certainly found myself being more aware of my thoughts. It's not that I didn't have any worryfull thoughts - it just didn't seem to linger long. I was too busy thinking about what I was going to offer up in a thankful thought.
It's amazing how such a small change can seem to make a large difference. I found myself not feeling the heaviness in my chest that comes and resides when I'm lost in my worry. I didn't feel as if "I" needed to figure the problem out or solve it. After all, it's not in my hands anyway. I found myself focusing more on gifts God has blessed me with.
I'm still a work in progress. In the time it's taking me to write this I've had at least two worry-full thoughts come to mind. I am thankful that Father God is in control and that His best will come from those things that are not so wonderful in our lives. I am thankful for my wonderful family who loves me just the way I am yet, challenges me to be more ! I am thankful that God is patient and I am not taking this journey alone ! Amen.
