Why worry when God's got you?

Why Worry And Stress?
Alexandra Lynn Mura

Imagine this, you wake up in the morning and all your thoughts flood your mind. Get bills paid, run errands, work problems, ect. I don't know about you all, but for me this happens daily. Before my day begins I'm already worrying and stressing. Why do we do this though? Often times we worry and stress about stupid and trivial things we can not even control. God tells us that we should not worry. He tells us to cast our worries on Him, to trust Him, and He will provide.

1 Peter 5:7 "Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you." Something that is so hard to do is let go of our problems, and let God take care of them. I think that we sometimes forget that God truly cares about us. I believe that deep down we do know that God cares for us, but we get so caught up with life, worrying, and wanting things to go the way we want them that we loose sight of this. God loves us so much that He wants us to let Him take care of our problems, and love Him.

Joshua 1:9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your Go will be with you wherever you go." God wants us to trust Him because He loves us and is always with us. Even though it seems like there are times God isn't with us He really is, we just aren't listening. Things won't always go the way we want them to, or in the time that we want them to. We just have to trust that God has us, and is with us all the days of our lives.

2 Corinthians 9:8 "And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work." God wants to bless us and give us the best. I know a problem I have is that i question God. "Do you really know what your doing? Why don't you just tell me what's going to happen? Why isn't this going the way I want it to?" All this questioning keep me from my blessings God wants to give me, and wastes my time when I could be using that time to give God glory. God loves us, and wants to bless us.

We worry and stress about stupid and trivial things that we can't control. We need cast our worries on God, trust Him, and He will provide. Things won't always go the way we want, or in the time that we want them to. We just need to let go, and let God. He knows what's best, and with God the outcome to our worries will be much better with Him than what we could ever do on our own.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
