There has been reassurance in my mind again this morning that women and men do not worry about the same things. Men, namely my man, mostly worry about money and logistics of things. I am not a "specific" type of thinker. Women, namely myself, mostly worry about quality time and the big picture.
Even as both of these are very annoying, I must remember that God does not want us to worry at all. He wants us to place all of our thoughts and concerns in His lap to take care of.
"Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?" Matthew 6: 25-30
How easy it sounds! How difficult it is to make happen!

I too struggle with worrying, so I can totally say I need to read those verses every day of my life. It's all in the Book isn't it? Why does it sit there on my end table by my chair and I fail to open it???
Thanks for being a sweet inspiration to me.
