A Shift in Thinking
Not a day goes by that I don’t hear news anchors and commentators grumbling. I could turn off the television, and often do. But the thoughts are there, lurking. What if..? If only… Why, oh, why? Some say worrying is a sign of intelligence. God says it’s a lack of faith.
What can I do when concerns about the future come - aside from writing letters to the editor and casting my vote at an election booth?
Write a list of blessings.
Open my eyes, Lord, so I can see
Blessings you’ve poured down on me.

O Francine, I often have the same thoughts. It is the battle that rages in us. "Let faith arise" I always pray. If I could just learn to keep this filthy flesh at bay...to hold every thought captive... to remember without fail that I was not given a spirit of fear. I too, hardly ever watch the news for that reason. The world is sick and as a Christ follower and a child of the Almighty, I cant help to be heartbroken at what I see. I feel as though when the things I hear and see; the images and sounds that remain even after the tv is off and the lights are out are the very things that He has called me to pray feverishly about. The Word tells us to pray for our enemies. It is the only way to be rid of the lingering fear. FOR HIS GLORY.
