Trusing in Jesus

Posted by John | Filed under Uncategorized

I struggle with my faith because when things go wrong in my life for circumstances out of my control…..personal life…….health……work……finances…………..family…….friends….. unexpected negative surprises…..I sometimes have such a feeling of doom, depression, of fear, being out of control, helplessness………..I hate those feelings.  I want to be able to turn those fears over to the Lord but I find it so difficult to do.

I realize my worrying is not going to solve anything and usually makes matter worse. I try to look for action steps I can take to try to help solve my problems which is what Eckert Tolle’s philosophy of THE POWER OF NOW professes. He says the only reality is this very moment in which we can take action and take charge. Worrying about what happened before or what may happen in the future is beyond our control at this very moment. And focusing on the past and future with no ability to affect either at this moment only add to my anxiety and frustration.  I believe in this concept…………but I find it very difficult.

But some problems are so out of my control that there is nothing I can do about it at the moment. At those times I try to “accept” God’s Will………..I want to………trusting that HE is in control………..but I struggle with turning these moment over completely to Jesus.  I have a long way to go in my Faith Journey.
