Putting All Your Worries In God's Hands

Putting All Your Worries In God's Hands

You know that phrase "give all your worry to God" I love it but out of all the advice I've ever been given it is probably the hardest advice to follow. I know if I give my worries and doubts and fears to our Lord my life will be pain free but I can't. I love to worry to much. I worry about boys, school, friends, and what other people think about me way to much.

Worrying about all this causes me the worst pain because I know I can't do anything about it but I don't want to give all my worries and doubts to God because then I know I can't worry about it anymore. I can't worry about what I did wrong to make him not love me anymore. I can't worry about what my grades for this upcoming year will be. I can't worry about trying to make all my friends happy.

I can't worry about what all the people on social media are saying to their friends about me. I know God will take care of me but my question is always "when?" When will He stop my heart from hurting? When will He fix my brokenness? Here's the answer...the day you fully and truly decide to give your heart and all the worries that come with it to our Lord is the day he will fix your brokenness. Although "give all your worry to God" is the hardest advice to follow it will relive all your stress faster than any bath and body stress reliever aromatherapy. Let go, Let God.

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." -- Philippians 4:6-7

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate.
