Sometimes I worry about "What will be the next trial or suffering God brings into my life"? What painful loving discipline will God choose to prune my life with? This is pathetic fear mongering about God. <br /><br />The opposite is more true for me. I imagine positive things that could happen to me should I choose to take initiative in certain areas. I imagine many details of the process, or other options in the process the 2nd or 3rd time through. But then I realize, none of this is based on reality. It's based on a very presumptive imagination that has no connection to details of reality. I have to confront this thinking frequently and hold it captive. <br /><br />The worst part about this use of my mind for imagination time, is I give less determinative thinking to what really is taking place, and God's instruction to "pray without ceasing".

It's only been recently that I have released many fears. I worry now mostly about my health, and about my husband's health, but with less emotional intensity. <br /><br />At the same time, I feel the protective presence of God near me, in a breathtaking way... I feel that God has more in mind for me than worrying my life away, being wrong 99% of the time.<br /><br />Thank you for putting all this into words! And what a lovely, lovely family you have! So sweet to see your beautiful children enjoying the water! I'd be there with them, splashing about, if I could!!<br /><br />Gratefully, <br /><br />ChristinaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06788867033447237676noreply@blogger.com
