Thanks Mom... (Destiny part 2)

There's this cute little wooden sign in one of the lab rooms of a clinic I work at. It says, "If at first you don't succeed, do it like your mother told you." which coincidentally I found myself having to apply last night, after receiving a phone call from my mom. I won't go into detail about the root of my last blog, but as mother's always know, she knew without me saying, what circumstance was causing me to dwell on the thought of destiny/fate and God's will. I'm kind of amazed that she figured what it was, but I'm not surprised.
So anyway, this is what she told me, and she's right. God is our Father. Sometimes, just as we prepare our children for the harsh world they live in, by putting them through trials, so does God, and only out of love. It is still up to us to make a choice, and to get whichever grade, we deserve according to our choice. For every action there is a reaction, and we are responsible for whatever happens. God might allow obstacles to cross our path for our own good, but he doesn't force any outcome on anyone.
Philippians 4:6 is amazing. Paul says, "Don't worry about ANYTHING; instead, pray about EVERYTHING. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus."
I have anxiety problems, and this verse is God telling me that there is nothing in this world that I have to worry about! My Father is more powerful than I can even begin to imagine, and at the same time, He loves ME! More than I can even understand. He WANTS me to give all my anxiety and burdens to Him, and to go on living my life completely rid of it all, because He'll handle it for me! What an awesome offer, it should be so easy!! Could it be, that the reason adults have such a hard time with this, and that we are so unhappy all the time is because of our lack of FAITH!? In Mark 10:14-15 JESUS Himself tells us, "Let the children come to me. Don't stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I assure you, anyone who doesn't have their kind of faith will never get into the Kingdom of God." Look at how happy and carefree children are! There is not a doubt in their little hearts that Jesus is right beside them loving them and taking care of them, and they don't have to worry about anything. This is how I want to live.
