Relax! Stop stressing!
It is all in the plan!!
"In a factory building there are wheels and gearings,
There are cranks, pulleys, belts either tight or slack;
Some are whirling swiftly, some are turning slowly,
Some are thrusting forward, some are pulling back.
Some are smooth and silent, some are rough and noisy,
Pounding, rattling, clanking, moving with a jerk;
In a wild confusion in a seeming chaos,
Lifting, pushing, driving – but they all do their work.
From the mightiest lever to the smallest cog or gear,
All things move together for the purpose planned;
And behind the working is a mind controlling,
And a force directing, and a guiding hand.
So all things are working for the Lord's beloved,
Some things might be hurtful if alone they stood;
Some might seem to hinder; some might draw us backward,
But they work together, and they work for good.
All the thwarted longings, all the stern denials,
All the contradictions, hard to understand;
And the force that holds them, speeds them and retards them,
Stops and starts and guides them – is our Father's hand."
- Annie Johnson Flint
Life can be so more manageable when we stop stressing and worrying about all of the things we cannot control!
Whatever your spiritual belief may be, regardless of your religion, if we can have Faith that there is a plan for each of us and that being anxious or worried will not alter that plan one iota, we will be able to experience more Peace and Joy and love on our lives.
Act with kindness, compassion and pursue your goals and dreams with all you can give, but do not give in to the temptation to fret and worry all the time. It is a waste of your time and energy!
It always works out!
Stay Strong
