I am NOT the Lord

I tend to worry.
I tent to make plans and quickly become attached to them.
I tend to stress out when things don't go as I planned and even imagined.

When reading Sarah Young's devotion from "Jesus Calling" today, I was sure Jesus was talking to me - reminding me that I am NOT the Lord!

"I, the creator of the universe, am with you and for you. What more could you need? When you feel some lack, it is because you are not connecting with Me at a deep level. I offer abundant Life; your part is to trust ME, refusing to worry about anything. 

It is not so much adverse events that make you anxious as it is your thoughts about those events. Your mind engages in efforts to take control of a situation, to bring about the results you desire  Your thoughts close in on the problem like ravenous wolves. Determined to make things go your way, you forget that I am in charge  of your life. The only remedy is to switch your focus from the problem to My Presence. Stop all your striving, and watch to see what I will do. I am the Lord!"
