Do Not Worry, God is in Control

It’s funny how we take our health for granted until something shows up from a doctor’s visit we totally didn’t expect. The doctor wants to runs some test just to double check, then our worry mode kicks in. We try not to worry because the bible tells us not to, but human nature takes over and we do it anyway. We tend to stress out for days and even weeks until we hear back from our results. We pray and ask God to get us through this waiting time and we try to push it out of our minds but our bodies still feel the pressure and stress. Our bodies react by elevated blood pressure, eating unhealthy or not at all, and getting little or no sleep. It’s amazing how our entire body is affected by what takes place in our minds.

After all the waiting we finally get the call and everything is ok….thank God! We go on with our daily lives as if nothing ever happened, or do we? I guess it all depends on each individual and where they are in their relationship with Christ. If you are continuously growing in your walk like me, you still worry from time to time. But deep down, you still trust God to get you through tough times and you remember His grace is sufficient. You keep believing and trusting in Him every day in all things. After every struggle, you do start to recognize all the little things in life even more because God allowed you to be ok. Also you keep seeing how God wants you slow down and recognize His power and control and you won’t worry as much the next time around.

So today I got great news from my doctor. I’m going to be just fine. BUT I thank and praise God once again for His mercy, grace, and most of all His love!
