It's amazing to me that I can spend an entire day (or days) going through life and at the same time doing battle with myself on the inside. I've found that I think way too much and much of it quickly turns to worry...will I get everything done in time? Will this be the year that nothing goes right? The questions and thoughts go much deeper of course, but there are too many to share.
This evening I found myself a bit overwhelmed by all my thoughts and finally took them where they should have gone the moment I first thought them. To the feet of Jesus. I've wrestled with what to pray and how to pray for the last several weeks when James preached from Matthew 6. I don't want to just pray my long list of "needs" or worries and ignore that the God who created the universe, the God who knows every star by name, the God who holds the whole world in His hands - already has it all figured out. So, I'm choosing this prayer...while short, it says everything it needs to...Your will, Jesus. Not mine.
