Stay Positive Baby!

I’ve been having my shares of worries lately, probably no more than your average person. The difficult part is getting yourself out of that cycle of worry that traps you and keeps you from moving forward. For me, moving forward meant praying to God and asking Him to forgive me for my lack of faith in realizing that He is ultimately in control. It reminds me of the song, "Your Love is Strong" when it says:

So why do I worry?
Why do I freak out?
God knows what I need
You know what I need

Now for you non-Christians who may be wondering, "Is God punishing you for your lack of faith?" Absolutely not. God made a promise to His people in Deuteronomy 31:6 which says, "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." God never left my side, even as I worried. The problem was that I got so caught up in my cycle of worrying that I failed to acknowledge God and His healing power. Once I cast my worries on God, I started to feel so much better (1 Peter 5:7).

I then came across this video of this cute little girl standing in front of the mirror talking about all the things in her life that are great. Wouldn’t it be great if we could cast away our worries and realize just how much we really have?
