Worry and Trust

Do you ever wish God shows you some of His plans for you right in front of your face on a piece of paper? Well, that's kind of how I have been feeling lately...

This is my last semester of my junior year of high school (which I am thoroughly enjoying) and I have been seriously looking at different colleges and even considering what exact major I should study in college. For those of you who don't know me too well, I will tell you that I am a planner. I plan my weekend activities in advance, what I'm going to wear every day for the next week, and many other things including what college I would like to attend and the subject area I would like to major in. When I'm unsure of any of these big decisions, I get worried and stressed and I sometimes just want to burst into tears. However, when that happens I'm not trusting God that He has it all taken care of. I'm doing exactly what it says NOT to do in Matthew 6:34...

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own...

I am worrying even when God says not to. However, I need to give that worry to God and trust Him with my life...

Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you. Psalm 9:10

In you, Lord my God, I put my trust. Psalm 25:1

But I trust in you, Lord; I say, "You are my God." Psalm 31:14

I need to trust God COMPLETELY with my college choice as well as with what He wants me to study in college, and I need to seek Him out with my whole heart and pray for wisdom and guidance and discernment in making these decisions...because afterall, He is God, He knows what He is doing, and He has specific plans for me and my life.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11 (such a great verse for me in this season of my life)

P.S. If you would like to read more on worry, the whole passage of Matthew 6:25-34 is great.
