Interruptions

I cannot seem to shake the fact that God has everything in the palm of his hand, nor would I want to. The fact that God is in control of all things is not what scares me at all, what scares me is the fact that I want to be in control so much of the time. I love my God and I love that He knows exactly what I need and He hears my every worry and deals with it so I don't have too. There has been a recurring theme lately among the people I am around as well as this entire country. Fear.

Fear is just an evil thing that we harbor and is so hard to let go of because in some messed up fashion we think because we fear it makes us feel safe. Safety, we all know, is certainly not found in such a dark place such as fear. Nothing good comes out of fear, yet we keep it within us like it is something that will help us. Fear of the unknown, fear of feeling out of control, fear of being "not good enough". God knows all things, God is in control, and God made you who you are, not like anyone else, you are you just as God intended.

Fear is a consuming disease. It isn't like a cold that you just take tylenol for and you make it all better in a few days. At the risk of being very blunt (and these words are only my thoughts on current situations that have risen here), fear is like none other than a cancer. I mean get this, people can die of fear. Take hoarding for an example, people can be taken over by the fear of throwing away things that "mean something" to them, even though it's complete junk. Not joking about hoarding, it is serious, just using it as an example. Also take phobias, people who are deathly afraid to step out of their house, people who are so afraid of needles they won't get the medicine they need that would otherwise keep them alive.

Fear takes time out of the day, good thoughts and swaps them for fearful thoughts, makes you want to seclude yourself from others, it depresses you, it takes a part of you and makes it hard to live. So control is just something we ought to leave to God, we don't know our future, we don't know the choices that God will put before us. However we need to know that he will guide us, comfort us, and love us more than anyone...ever. Fear is not love, because fear brings forth torment. God will overcome fear if we only believe and stick with that belief that He will. Thank God for that.

All to God
