John 15:4

"Remain in me, and I will remain in you..." How comforting are these words to us. As this summer really begins for me, these bring about a gulit in my heart. I have been so wrapped up in my needs and wants that I have forgotten that those needs and wants needed to be in tune with what God wants for me. The blessings that God has bestowed upon me are amazing...incredible. I should remember those and not fret over getting a job. If he wants to have a job, he will provide one. That is my main worry right now. But I guess I should learn from my own words to Shane and know that I cannot hear God when these worries fill my head. I love the passage in Matthew 6: 25-34...but sometimes it isn't alway easy to follow what it says. Sometimes you just have to let go and let God. Heavenly Father, please let me remain in you always. Things are so much better when I stay with you. Help me not to worry about a summer job, college, or the unknowns that are on the horizon. Thank you for your everlasting grace. Help me never to forget your love and how much you care about me and the plans you have for me. Help me to dig deep into you and discover more about you. Forgive me for worrying when I know that you have me in your hands all the time. Help me not to try to do it on my own. Thank you Abba. I love you. Amen.
