Rise above Anxiety

Why on earth do I find it so difficult most times not to be anxious, especially over things I have no control over? Why is the temptation to become anxious so difficult to avoid? Of course, I know what I suffer when I allow myself become anxious but why don't I seem to be able to help myself and avoid the trap? Even though I have read and know that worry and anxiety is a sign of doubt and lack of faith in God, why do I still worry and become anxious?
I guess I need to trust God more and depend on His faithfulness, because He says He will never leave me nor forsake me. Help me Lord to always remember that.
This is to encourage anyone else who is out there struggling with the habit of worry and anxiety (yes, habits), remember that you can't help yourself and that you have someone who cares for you more than you can ever imagine. His thoughts towards you continually are thoughts of good and not of evil, to give you an expected then. So lets learn to wholly depend on Him.

Deal With That Stressful Relationship!

Like I wrote in my previous post, sometimes we become saddled with relationships that stress us rather than enhance and bring out the best in us.

I believe that all marital relationships founded on genuine love are worth fighting for. That is, fight for your own spouse not somebody's else's. On the other hand, I firmly believe that not all platonic relationships are worth the effort, especially the ones characterized by inces...

What To Do After You Have Failed Morally

Failing is not a nice feeling for anyone to experience, especially when u fail morally and when it is that you do sincerely love the Lord. You feel genuinely sad and disappointed in yourself. But what you do after that is really up to you. You can either choose to seek for forgiveness, forgive your own self and move on, depending on God to help you or you wallow in the pit of self pity and resign yourself to the fact that probably nothing good can come from you. The end result of the latter is that the problem takes hold of a person and leads one down a road of morale decadence. I strongly believe that we can go right back to the point of loving ourselves and God like that failure never even happened. God says that when he forgives our sins, he remembers it no more, and we should do same. We ought not to let the guilt remain with us, neither should we allow the taste of the pleasure of what we fell right back into remain with us. With God nothing is impossible and also nothing is imp...
