Worry List

     1 Peter 5:7-  "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." 

     Though there is no need I still, on behalf of being the human I am, worry. It isn't necessary to have the concerns I do. In all reality it shows my complete lack of faith and acknowledges my disregard to the promises God makes to his people. He explains that if we give our worries to him we will no longer need to think upon them. Even then I am awake in bed only to think of the concerns of the day yet to come. I ignore the day I was given. My worries fog my sense of understanding and clarity of my thoughts. It's as if they consume my mind creating virtually no room for outside ponders. I do not think back on moments that could make me smiles. I am not thankful I was given another day on this earth. I am thankful I made it through the day. It's as if the  days I live are achievements not gifts. Yet, is this the correct way to be thanking The Lord? I've just recently come to the conclusion if no. I take each day for granted because of the worries I have tomorrow. However, if I give God my worries then tomorrow will not be a day I try to make through. It will be a day I try to make last. I guess the point I'm trying to make here is, lay down your worries before The Lord for they are much too heavy to bear. And he, being the God he is, will pick them up.
