Friday, April 16, Panic

I am a control person. Plain and simple, I like to do it myself so it gets done the way I want it done. I like to prepare and be prepared so nothing takes me by surprise. When things are out of my control, I stress, worry, and even get angry, all symptoms of Panic. Reading God's word and communicating with Him on a daily basis, both in quiet time and throughout my day, helps me put every situation in His hands. Some He lets me handle and some are to be left in His hands. He is helping me see that I don't have to do it all, be in charge of it, and it doesn't have to be done my way. A pretty peaceful alternative to panic when I can let it go. Father, help me to Trust in you for everything and to know when You are working through me and when You are working through others and doing it your way. Thank you for taking care of me in all things.
