It's funny. When I first began my relationship with the Lord, I did a pretty good job of laying my burdens down. When I was troubled, I took my concerns to the Him, and would fairly quickly come to the realization that I was okay just because I had Jesus.
I have noticed lately that I need to get back in that simple, yet very effective habit. My thinking has taken a slight shift, that can leave me in turmoil when I have issues, instead of leading me into sweet peace. I have been thinking more along these lines: "I'll be okay when Jesus shows me the answer to my problems." That works out for me every now and then. I can go to Him in prayer and get an immediate "This is what you need to do" type of answer. More times than not though, He is working on me in the waiting. Really, He is the answer.
I can rest in the trust that the Lord will lead me and guide me, in His own ways and in His perfect timing. I am being more mindful to exchange anxiety and worry, for His peace and His love that casts out all fear. Going back in search of a treasure that I lost on this path of life. :) Hoping to keep a hold of it this time!!
