worry...

Philippians 4:6-7

6Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. 7Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.


Why do I worry so? Why do I worry that my teenagers are going to go off the deep end? Why do I worry, THEN talk to a gazillion people about it, THEN decide to pray? When will I learn to pray first? When will I learn to be bold and expectant in my prayers, Ashlee Liddell?

When?...when?...when?

My wise father said to me today that faith is a battleground of the mind. Satan fights us in our thoughts, which paralyzes our faith because we start to analyze, worry, think, doubt, or whatever our weakness is....It puts a new spin on renewing your mind, doesn't it?

I have been chatting it up big time with the One, and He assures me this is a journey that will knock my socks off....

wanna come?
