Why worry when God's got you?

Why Worry And Stress?
Alexandra Lynn Mura

Imagine this, you wake up in the morning and all your thoughts flood your mind. Get bills paid, run errands, work problems, ect. I don't know about you all, but for me this happens daily. Before my day begins I'm already worrying and stressing. Why do we do this though? Often times we worry and stress about stupid and trivial things we can not even control. God tells us that we should not worry. He tells us to cast our worries on Him, to trust Him, and He will provide.

1 Peter 5:7 "Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you." Something that is so hard to do is let go of our problems, and let God take care of them. I think that we sometimes forget that God truly cares about us. I believe that deep down we do know that God cares for us, but we get so caught up with life, worrying, and wanting things to go the way we want them that we loose sight of this. God loves us so much that He wants us to let Him take care of our problems, and love Him.

Joshua 1:9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your Go will be with you wherever you go." God wants us to trust Him because He loves us and is always with us. Even though it seems like there are times God isn't with us He really is, we just aren't listening. Things won't always go the way we want them to, or in the time that we want them to. We just have to trust that God has us, and is with us all the days of our lives.

2 Corinthians 9:8 "And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work." God wants to bless us and give us the best. I know a problem I have is that i question God. "Do you really know what your doing? Why don't you just tell me what's going to happen? Why isn't this going the way I want it to?" All this questioning keep me from my blessings God wants to give me, and wastes my time when I could be using that time to give God glory. God loves us, and wants to bless us.

We worry and stress about stupid and trivial things that we can't control. We need cast our worries on God, trust Him, and He will provide. Things won't always go the way we want, or in the time that we want them to. We just need to let go, and let God. He knows what's best, and with God the outcome to our worries will be much better with Him than what we could ever do on our own.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
