Worrying, we all do it, we all do it often, but what does it really help us to achieve anything?
Not really, except getting ourselves into a tizz. But there seems to be so much to worry about, why don't we take a moment to write down all the things that are worrying us right now in our lives and hand them over to God. Pour your heart out onto this piece of paper and I bet after saying a prayers like, "God, I put these down at the foot of your cross, I don't want to worry anymore. I give all my worries over to you God."
I bet it will feel like a weight being lifted off your chest. Try it.
"Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the centre of your life."

What a Sunday Night
We had a guy named Warren speaking at night church tonight. He is involved in missionary work over in the Philippians, is a very cool guy who had a very cool message to share. But what got me the most about this guy is his love and passion for God. From the moment he got up and spoke I was just mesmerised by his openness and love for God, and it got me thinking I love God but do I really show it, are people as mesmerised by my love God as I was of Warren's - honestly I don't really think so but whats stopping me from being bold. Jesus died on a cross for me, he was humiliated and defeated all for me - I don't deserve it but he did it anyway. So how can I be ashamed of my love for God when he died for me on that cross, I can't and I won't.
