"For the LORD your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs." Zephaniah 3:17
Today I am reminded that God does have a perfect timing for everything and
He is calming my fears even when I do not feel calm with them.
The last few weeks have been a rollercoaster for my emotions. Does anyone else ever feel this way? When nothing's going right, we feel like the whole world is against us and nobody understands what we're going through. Please tell me I'm "normal"? Okay, maybe don't tell me. But one day I'm happy and excited and the next minute I'm worried and in prayer for things to remain as good as they have been with our family.
It's nothing really big just the small things that worry me.
I am a worry wart. I come by it honestly from my Dad's side of the family. When my little P coughs I worry that he's becoming sick and I want to watch him all of the time even when he's asleep to keep him safe, when my husband is running late from work and not answering his phone I worry something has happened to him.
I worry about my friends, I worry about my parents and siblings.
I worry when I should be praying and counting my blessings.
While shopping yesterday I saw a little girl asleep in her stroller, my child on the other hand was absolutely out of control trying to get everything in his arms reach into his mouth. Which then sent me into worrying about what other people in the store were thinking about him being, well, a curious little boy. While the sleeping little girl in her stroller and her mom didn't seem to have a worry in the world.
feel for him is almost overwhelming.
How could I love someone so much?
This little guy sets my days in motion with his cries and smiles.
Even when he is throwing fits and pulling at the dogs ears.
Looking at his face, I imagine the little boy God is shaping him into. I whisper prayers for him to know Jesus and love Him with all his heart. I ask God to calm his fears, fulfill his dreams, and establish his steps to walk in His ways.
So, I am turning over all of my fears, concerns, insecurities and doubts to Him.
Today I am thankful for the reminder that God is always with me to watch over me, every minute of every day.
Even while I am worrying.
