Problems, Problems

I sat at my desk truly feeling the desire to cry.

A problem I was trying to figure out led to another that led to a whole can of worms being opened. As the list of problems grew, so did my anxiety.

I put my head down and willed myself to keep breathing.

A million thoughts raced through my mind, “Don’t get emotional. Stay logical. Gather smart people around you. Get advice.”

It was then that God really spoke to me, and He challenged me with this thought:

“Lysa, you’ve been thinking about, talking about, trying to figure out and stressing over all these problems. But thinking about, processing and stressing over your problems is not the same as praying over them. Bring this to me in prayer.” Wow -- so true!

After all, God has all the best solutions already figured out if we will remember to pray more words than we speak.
