What is there to "do" about you?

 The idea of where you are and if you're safe makes me anxious at times. It makes me pray, actually. There isn't anything I can actually do in the physical realm to change any of this. Oh, wait, praying is an actual physical activity. It acknowledges with my heart and mind who it is who can teach me trust and give me peace. 

 It might not change you but it changes me. It Stops the anxiety, worry and stress. It's not up to me to decide your life. It's all between you and God.So it's right and good and reasonable that I would ask God to watch out for you. To keep you safe from things, to make sure you're eating and taking care of yourself and that you remember how very much we love and He loves you.

 To keep it all together all day and cry at night over things that aren't my business is wearing me out.

 To surrender my insecurity and anxiety to God alone brings peace to my heart. A physical result of a physical connection to the Eternal God.  The next time you think there's nothing you can do, there is. 

There's an old song called Leave it There. It reminds me of I Peter 5:7. I will say the verse over and over again and then I just start singing in my head. It's a hard song to sing. Not because of the scale but because singing it in all sincerity is hard.

 I think I actually lay the idols of my heart down a few times an hour. I'm not proud of that but that's where I'm at. Remembering scripture and choosing to focus my brain on what I can do that's good retrains the anxiety into productive non worry.

 To actually "Leave it There" for me means staying busy and engaged in worthwhile things that might not mean anything to anyone else but they keep my hands and mind busy. 

I now completely understand why my husband is So busy with projects. 

He, more than me was designed to be busy at tasks. It helps him not dwell on things he can't fix and trust me, that guy would fix it if he could. He is a great example to me of what we should be doing. 

Trying to "solve it" never works. SO ~ I will Praise you in this Storm and I will trust you with my hands and heart so that I do not interfere or get in the way of what you're doing in another heart.
