Been a bit Down lately

Hey readers!

So, as of late I've been really depressed over a lot of things. What to do about school, parents trying to get me to get a job, finances, my future in general. It got to the point today where I could not concentrate in class, my head was so full of other things to think about. So many things to worry. So, after I got done with my class, I'm just sitting and praying that I could trust God to take care of these things and give me peace. Wasn't helping. Or so I thought.

So, after this, I realize that my Dog had been hanging around me, hardly ever leaving my side, this has gone on for a while, but I never really noticed it for so long. I go to pet him, and thank God for a dog who cares about me, like most do. :P Then, a weird thing happened. After my dog left, our cat, the nervous one. He's gotten much much better, but he doesn't like to be picked up. Anyway, he comes in, I pet him and he's loving it. Then I pick him up and he starts to Purr. He NEVER purrs when you pick him up. So I pet him and then I set him down after a while. He sits on my lap. I was floored. He never does this ever. I'm starting to get curious, What's with these animals. He ends up leaving, and I go back to worrying. Then my other dog comes in, the hyper one. Very vain dog, all she cares about is eating. :P So, she comes to me to let m know it's time for her dinner. So I go to feed the dogs and then I come back. While I'm walking back to my room, it hit's me. Is the reason I'm like this because I'm not spending my time reading the Bible like I should? Is this because I haven't been faithful in my time with God? I hurry back to my room and pull out my Bible. I flip to a random page and the first sentence I read is "Do Not Worry"

I go, "wow, that's pretty straightforward". and I begin to read the passage. I ended up reading Luke 12:22-34 In fact, I'll just post it.

22 Then He said to His disciples, “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will put on. 23 Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing. 24 Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds? 25 And which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? 26 If you then are not able to do the least, why are you anxious for the rest? 27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 28 If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith?
29 “And do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, nor have an anxious mind. 30 For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you need these things. 31 But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things^[c] shall be added to you.
32 “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. 33 Sell what you have and give alms; provide yourselves money bags which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches nor moth destroys. 34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.


Exactly the words I needed to read. I felt much better and in Awe. God again showed me his love for me.

Thank you God for your Word and never ending Grace. Thank you for my friends who help listen in times of need. Thank you for your many blessings to numorus to ever count.
