My word for the day - is ANXIOUS.

My word for the day - is ANXIOUS.

You have to love the English language and how one word may have different meanings and/or feelings.

I am "anxious" to get started.

I am "anxious" to see what God has in store for us.

And yet -

I am "anxious" that things go well.

I am "anxious" the planes are on time .

I am "anxious" all of our luggage arrives intact and we make it through customs without incident.

I am "anxious" our families will be okay at home while we're gone.

I also know that Philippeans 4:6,7 says -
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving,present your request to God. And, [if you do so] the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Jesus Christ."

The above is a promise with conditions...it resembles this mathematical equation: A + P + G = Peace...Absence of worry + Prayer + Gratitude = the peace of God. Worry suggests insufficient trust in God's ability to provide for you.]

So I have trust and will Let Go and Let God. Even just saying the words calms me.
