anxiety

Anxiety is defined as this: a feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome.

Why do we worry, stress out, or have anxiety?
I am faced with this question daily and struggle with this daily. 
I struggle with anxiety with my school work, pleasing others, worrying about my future, anxiety about losing the ones I love and struggle with Trusting God's plan for me BUT
God never intended his children to carry the weight of the world and when we worry are we really trusting God's plans for our lives?
Growing up in the Word I was taught that trusting God is second nature.. But for me I really struggle with "Letting go and letting GOD."  

The verse that brings me most comfort and encouragement when I am dealing with this is one that was a constant reminder from the kids I nannied and they always told me this

Philippians 4:6-7

 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

When talking with some mentors the other day they said this:

"God knew you before you were created and knows you better than you know yourself. Be patient that His plans are far better than you can imagine and letting go of control or fear will give you the freedom you desire. You can't win a tug a war with God."

For everything God will provide and sustain in us if we trust in Him.

My desire is that I give the Lord my all

give Him all the glory, honor, sorrow, happiness, worry, and all other emotions. 

I hope this can bring some encouragement and hope for you too..

Thank you for reading & praying for y'all
