Casting your cares

Here i was all nervous for nothing. I was worried whether people would like what i did, whether i’d get my stuff done on time etc… Had a good long chat with God today, about Erin and i’ve come to realise that in so much that i try, i will never be strong enough to handle things on my own, so why keep on trying, only to come to such fruitless ends. Relying on God, who has strength enough for me and the rest of the world, would be the smartest thing to do, but it doesn’t come easy. Sometimes my quick temper gets in the way, my impatience screws things up, my laziness makes me guilty and my irresponsibility just adds to the tension. But my God is perfect, slow to anger, patient as ever, the most trustworthy, so really Erin, why don’t you just lay it all at His feet, and take a chill pill.  

The LORD is compassionate and gracious,
       slow to anger, abounding in love.

He will not always accuse,
       nor will he harbor his anger forever;

he does not treat us as our sins deserve
       or repay us according to our iniquities.

For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
       so great is his love for those who fear him;

as far as the east is from the west,
       so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

As a father has compassion on his children,
       so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him… (Psalm 103)

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. (Ephesians 6:10)

Cast all your cares on him because he cares for you. (1 Peter 5:7)
