Faith.
How simple it is to tell others to have it, keep it, or believe it exists.
Until you yourself are in the midst of anxiety, trials and fear.
Last Sunday I was sitting in church and hopelessness enveloped me.
I had the overwhelming need to run out of the sanctuary and bawl my eyes out.
The service hadn't even started but, sadly, despair can strike anywhere.
I said a quick heartfelt and desperate prayer as the music started and pulled myself together. Or rather, God did it for me.
Oh yes, He did.
Then, as I listened to the minister, God spoke to ME.
Yes, He did.
His message was: Be anxious for nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
at. all.
I've read these words before but today they sunk in. My heart soared!
They were an answer to my prayer- plain and simple.
My burden was lifted and I could smile again.
Please, dear friends, take this to heart.
Whatever fear, anxiety, worries you have leave them at the Lord's feet and then just let them go.
Philippians 4:6- Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.

I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one to have an experience like that in church! I've felt that way before and remember it well. I had no idea you were going through anything, I'm so sorry I haven't been a very good friend. I've been praying for you at times but will pray more!
Love you!
