Impending doom

That sounds so defeating, but it is that dread of the complications in life that seem to be just around the corner.

It is very possible that they are around the corner. But I try not to give them life or more power over me by saying that they are lurking or think of these situations as waiting to pounce on me.

Stuff happens. And my response to my circumstances makes all the difference in the world. I may not be able to change the situation but I can change my outlook.

We can’t clean up every situation and have it turn into something amazing. It just isn’t something we can do. Unfortunately, there are many painful losses that we experience in life. They can be devastating. And we can feel lost.

But, we can ask God to show us where He is and ask Him to let us know what He is doing in and through the situations. He is surely doing something even though we may not have the eyes to see it.

But, there are times we are so busy anticipating doom that we are not able to enjoy where we are at the moment. We dread that the other shoe is going to fall and ruin everything. I suppose it can be important to prepare, but we can also make ourselves crazy by trying to prevent anything terrible from happening. We lose sight of the life right before our eyes.

It is important to practice handing all of our cares and concerns to God. Whether you start the day by handing them off or end the day asking God to take the concerns and grant you His peace, I encourage you to do it.

He neither slumbers nor sleeps. Psalm 121:4

    1. Hey Kim! I am so glad you find these prayerpoints as a springboard for your own personal growth. I can always tell when there is something God is working on in me because I get pointed there from multiple directions!
