Stress does strange things to the body. After reading way to many articles about Ebola right before bed last night, I slept way to little. I woke up with a stye in each eye, a stiff neck and a horrible head ache that made me feel nauseous. A warm compress on my eyes, a heating pad with Eucalyptus oil on my neck, ibuprofen and peppermint oil for my aching head, then going back to sleep brought a little relief. I had to miss my womens bible study. Id rather lose my pinky toe than miss bible study. And I needed it. I felt so discouraged. I woke up the second time and prayed thru every thing I could think of that weighed too much for me to carry. I quoted verses in my mind I knew were true even though they contradicted the way I felt. Im learning to cast my cares to God more quickly believing that He cares enough for me to gladly take them. Its not easy. But we must be determined to trust Him with every single problem in our lives, big or small. Struggling with anxiety is an ongoing battle that I will not stop fighting in His power. I believe EVERY battle in our lives belongs to The Lord. He fights for us until we see the victory. Struggling with anything is proof we havent given up in that area. Let us hold fast to His promises and believe that He has overcome. He will fight for our freedom until the very end. Let us stand firm and encourage each other to take heart and wait on The Lord. He will come and not delay. And when He does our hearts will cry out: HE WAS WORTH THE STRUGGLE!
