Letting Go of Worry & letting God !

Letting Go of Worry

What if we knew for certain that everything we're worried about today will work out fine?

What if . . . we had a guarantee that the problem bothering us would be worked out in the most perfect way, and at the best possible time? Furthermore, what if we knew that three years from now we'd be grateful for that problem, and its solution?

What if . . . we knew that even our worst fear would work out for the best?

What if . . . we had a guarantee that everything that's happening, and has happened, in our life was meant to be, planned just for us, and in our best interest?

What if . . . we had a guarantee that the people we love are experiencing exactly what they need in order to become who they're intended to become? Further, what if we had a guarantee that others can be responsible for themselves, and we don't have to control or take responsibility for them?

What if . . . we knew the future was going to be good, and we would have an abundance of resources and guidance to handle whatever comes our way?

What if . . . we knew everything was okay, and we didn't have to worry about a thing? What would we do then?

We'd be free to let go and enjoy life.

Today, I will know that I don't have to worry about anything. If I do worry, I will do it with the understanding that I am choosing to worry, and it is not necessary.

Wow Jo, coming from you this is so cool (since we have both agreed we are OCD  ); it's hard to NOT worry.  My hubby's theory is he only worries about what he has control over and since he doesn't have control over too much there's no need to worry.....myself I have always been a "worry wort" so we make a great pair LOL.

I will read this and even print it off...profound.

Thanks Suz

I do pretty good except for Tyler diabetes and a few other things , Last night Tyler could not remember if he took his insulin (his 24 hour one ) . He said I am pretty sure I didnt I said well I need 100 % cause if you go to sleep with double the amount you may not wake up .  

So he came up with that he did not take it & took it then all night I worried ,his alarm went off and he did not get up & I went in his room screaming like a crazy women so scared that he would not be ok . I have aged since he has been diagnosed that is for sure .

Hi Jo!

Those words describe the way the Lord expects us to view life's events.
If we unconditionally trust Him, we truly have nothing to worry about.

God bless you, Jo!
As always, you and Tyler are in my thoughts and prayers.
