Stressed?

Yeah, I’m stressed. I am usually always stressed about something! Currently I am stressed about my financial aid for University. I will be leaving on Saturday and my financial aid is still not worked out for the fall semester, which means I am heading off to school without knowing how my tuition will be paid. At the moment I feel as if my life has been one last minute plan after the next. God has been challenging me to wait on Him and His timing. My timing is much different, I like planning things out well ahead of time and knowing how everything will work together. God is teaching me that I have to trust that He will provide even when deadlines are coming.

Knowing that God will provide is one thing, believing that He will provide and trusting in Him is another thing. Especially with my financial aid. It is sometimes hard to believe that He will provide for me. I need to change my knowledge into faith! Faith is believing in something that we can’t see, we believe because He has told us to trust Him. Having faith is so important!

Sometimes I look at what I have written and I wonder if I truly believe it. Do I truly believe that He will provide the money and financial aid that I need by the deadline I need it? Do I truly believe that He is leading me down the path that He chose for me before I was even born? I know these things are true, now I just have to believe. God is such a gracious and loving Father that He has given me many chances to see Him answer prayers and fulfill His promises. No matter how much I disappoint Him by my doubts, He will always show Himself faithful and will lead me to Himself.

Now I just need to give my burden over to Him and allow Him to take care of everything. Stress will only hurt me, it will never solve a problem. Only God can solve my problems!

Thank you Father God!
