Re-casting our anxiety

Beautiful melody and amazing presence of God this song brings.

Today, my helper forgot to bring my sons' pull-over to church. I was upset at her forgetfulness as this was a no-brainer weekly duty.

Because the worship room and classroom were really cold with air-conditioned, I was fearful that my sons would fall sick due to the cold as they are usually prone and my older son's history of complication with respiratory issues. In my fear, I felt upset. And I thought about the hectic schedule we are having this week with my bazaar and the following week when my husband and I would be away from my boys. Honestly, I sensed my anxiety rising slowly but surely.

Every rhyme and reason tells me I have the right to vent or give her a peace of my mind, but in that instant, I choose to re-cast my anxiety upon the Lord. There is nothing I could do to change what was done. As we sat in the taxi heading towards church, I felt absolutely sick to the stomach & inadequate, I prayed anyway with all that my heart could muster, "God, please be the blanket of warmth and cover both my boys today. Give them strength and build them up. Thank you Lord."

After service, I picked up my son. His hands were freezing cold. But guess what, the Lord DID hug him and preserve him. He told me it was cold, but not too cold. :))) thank God.

And this song, when we sang this song during worship, this was me giving my anxiety to him. God is so faithful. :) Thank God, Praise him & bless him.

If you have an area of need, or if it may be someone else's shortcoming that causes your fall, let us not point our fingers but re-cast our anxiety upon the Lord. May God strengthen you. He is a God that cares for you, your shield, your strength, your portion, deliverer, your shelter, strong tower, your very present help in time of need. He is your over comer as he is mine.

This is our God - Hillsong

I am grateful for the love that God has for each one of us, is there any situation that cannot be overcome? Each of us have a seed of Hope, if we continue to keep our eyes on him.

There are so much novelty the world is tempting us, each thing requiring more time and more resources from us. What God desires is that we sit by his feet, letting him lavish his love on us. Rest, is so hard, it seemed. Yet it is in his word that he say "those who wait on him will rise like eagles"- Isaiah 40:31. Picture that eagles soaring over the blue sky... such freedom and strength.

Amazed and so grateful for his power, his love, his endless grace. He is our God, our conqueror, the victorious King, rescuer of the World.

If anyone needs strength, the Lord says come, wait on him. Just soak in his presence, be still and know that he is the only one who would hold you up.
