Oh, how I worry! I have been a worrier for as long as I can remember, and while I think I’ve gotten better at putting my trust in Him, I still struggle at times. What do I worry about? Mostly stupid daily things – and yes, I know how stupid it is to worry about them! There are nights when I just repeat, “Lord, I’m givin’ it up to you…” in bed to alleviate the worry.

Sorry I saw that I wrote “thanks for praying” twice……guess I’m extra thankful!

I also put in the wrong web address for my blog, so I corrected it.

I worry about finances mostly. I was out of work recently for almost four months and it was really a rough patch for me (I was on a career path change, that God wanted me to do….long but great story!). I got behind on a lot of things and if it wasn’t for my church and some anonymous gifts I don’t know what I would have done! Now that I am working again, its so hard trying to catch up. Losing my home is my biggest worry of that, too far behind to catch up. The bank is working with me, but I worry that they will get tired of it and foreclose. I am praying daily that God will help me save it for me and my son. I wrote about some of the things I am dealing with in my blog if you want to check it out.

OK…I also worry about getting married too! There I admitted it!

Thanks for praying! I love you blog!

Thanks for praying!

Sorry, just catching up on my blogs. My biggest worry is my baby. I had a miscarriage right before I got pregnant with this baby. All throughout my pregnancy I have struggled with worrying about how he is doing, if I’m going to be a good mother, just playing the “what if” game in general. My husband has helped me stop this A LOT. He’s so much stronger than I am in this area! I’ve gotten a lot better but I have a ways to go. He’s due July 28th and his name will be Grady James. And judging from the ultrasound he will be SUPER CUTE! If you could pray for him I would SO appreciate it.

I worry about SO many things–mostly due to lies Satan has tricked me into listening to/believing.

I have lots of personal worries (finances, what I should do with my life, relationships, the future, etc.), but my biggest worry is that my parents and other loved ones will never give their lives over to Christ.

That makes so much sense. It’s funny because I will sometimes find myself taking a worry and immediately turning it into a prayer. The sad thing is that is probably only about 10% of my worry. I can’t believe that I was doing it but with only a very small amount of my worries, how did I miss that!? Thanks Cindy.

One of my big worries is the safety of my wife and daughter.

I worry about finances a lot. Craig’s message really hit me I never thought of worry that way. Thanks for your reminder today!

I often worry that my daughters won’t love me when I tell them someday about the BIG mistakes I’ve made in my life.

I know that is silly, but it makes me want to teach them about love and kindness, and how not to let bitterness root in their hearts.
