I worry too much. Sometimes to the point where I am overwhelmed.
I worry about the health, happiness and spiritual wellness of my parents.
I worry about the spiritual wellness of my friends, and I especially worry about my friends who aren't believers.
I worry about my church and its spiritual growth.
I worry about my finances, and my future security.
I worry about the stability of Subway and its hopeful constant growth in sales and net profits and such.
I worry about my love life, if and when I'm going to find "her".
I worry about my own health and future. If I should pursue an MBA, if I should go back to school as another major.
So many worries that cloud my thoughts.
But God is so good. Even on a day that's weather perfectly reflects the state of my mind, He speaks. In the gloomiest, wettest, most depressing day, God tells me that it shouldn't be my worry, for He takes my burdens and makes it His.
"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."
"He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."
I want to muster up enough faith to move greater things than mountains. I want enough faith to move the heart of God and to open up the graces of God in the lives of those who are suffering, those who are in trouble, those who are in pain, those who need to be broken, and those who need to know You. God, give me that faith! Show me your wonders!
By faith, four men were able to save and heal their paralytic friend. God, see my faith and save and heal my family and friends!
