I think it's a topic most of us can identify with. Susan, I'm the oldest of five and often bore the responsibilty that entails. There is that natural bent to think we have to carry that responsibility on into adulhood and solve everyone's problems, as well as our own. I'm not much of a real worrier, I don't think, but I'm a planner, and thoughts of what need to be done the next day, or month, can keep me awake. Prov. 3:5,6 is my life verse.I like your daily prayer!<br /><br />Robin, the need to make order out of chaos is a deep one! I find it extremely hard to get every area of my life in line at the same time!Sherrie Ashcrafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02427431760925277147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2384353257398381961.post-34518906848487177312010-01-08T11:49:20.710-08:002010-01-08T11:49:20.710-08:00Yep, you've certainly summed up a typical Janu...Yep, you've certainly summed up a typical January here. I know God is not a God of chaos, but of order. In the midst of chaos, I've often prayed based on that thought--prayed for him to make order out of the mess in my thoughts and plans. And he does. Funny I hadn't thought of that lately, though. Thanks for the reminder.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08392156184716928339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2384353257398381961.post-15483365195936774802010-01-07T19:41:18.272-08:002010-01-07T19:41:18.272-08:00Worry: a 5 letter monster! What a perfectly apt ...Worry: a 5 letter monster! What a perfectly apt description of the troubled and endless thoughts that bonce around in my mind, blur my focus and render me ineffective in reaching out to others as God would have me to do.<br />Please pray for me for personal boldness, concertrated effort to witness daily and direction from God as I seek to put Him first each day. <br />Much of my 'worrisome' nature, I learned while growing up. There were 6 vhildren in our family, I was #3 and the oldest daughter until age 10 when my baby sister was born. That put me smack in the middle of childcare and daily chores and I began to carry more than I needed to at a very young age.<br />Being saved at 16, I started to claim Romans 8:28 as my life verse: "All thiings work together for good to those who love God, to them that are called according to His purpose.'<br /> Later on in life, I've come to appreciate the wisdom of Prov. 3:5-6; Ps. 145, Jeremiah 29:11-12 and Phil 4:6-8. <br />My daily prayer is: Lord, mold me and make me into the servant daughter you would have me too be.Susan Sloanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05670405188924268233noreply@blogger.com
