Throw the whole of your anxiety upon Him,
because He Himself cares for you.
1 Peter 5:7(WNT)
It was my intention to
call my Gayle this morning between dropping off my children AND retrieving my
BFF at the dealership (routine car maintenance). I was seeking to fill the
silence. That was not God’s Will for me today. Instead, searching for
interesting audio distractions, I landed upon a discussion of 1 Peter, and it
was the particular language of the translation that spoke to me…
Throw the whole
(ALL) of your anxiety upon Him…
I would not have learned
that lesson, in that manner, had it not been for quiet time to listen, instead
of reaching out for someone to talk to…
The message was about
worry and about trust, but I had to have quiet to receive it. It instantly made a difference, and already
today in a moment of anxiety, I was able to calm my mind, say a prayer, and
repeat this scripture. I felt better, reminded that worry was NOT my job.
There are lessons to be learned in silence. Can you hear
them?
On
Thursdays, I pray and and play with friends here...
