To Not Be Anxious

To not be anxious This week one of the ladies from my new church called me in terms of my prayer request. She told me that many people shut down when they pray for certain things like I do. I told her that it has been a process for me and described the situation. After we talked, she stated it's okay to reach out. She told me to save her number and to reach out to her. I have asked her for prayer as we are in "crisis" mode in the world. She reminded me of the famous verse, "To not be anxious for anything. "She told me anytime my mind wanders to focus on God's word and listen to worship." Through the whole social distancing thing has been hard. It's just my daughter and I. I find myself missing having other adults around. It's also hard sometimes because I am so grateful for my family (parents, siblings, cousins, etc) but it's hard not to have the family that I planned.I love my daughter with all my heart, but had hoped for a husband that was always there present, who was social, who cared for others and would do anything for his family. Today I spoke with my cousin I am closest to. She told me, "You will find love again." And told me how my life is not over yet. It pretty much brought tears to my eyes. It's not easy when your life shifts or goes a different road then you planned. I have to remember God has something better in store. Sometimes passing through the pain is a process. Many people do not understand. They might judge you or think negative of you, but we are all human and make mistakes. God loves us anyway. ❤️
