Give it to God

Image
    There are so many things in life that could worry you or stress you but when it comes down to it I think life is so much more than that.  This life might have trials and tribulations and troubles and worries but we can’t forget that this life is just preparation for Heaven.  It’s just a moment really and soon we will be with Jesus and the things we have done, both good and bad, and the things  we’ve done for God will all be measured.  We can’t forgot in the midst of all the troubles and worries who is ultimately in control.  We can’t forgot that God has us.  He goes before us and behind us.  If we give our worries and the things that bother us to God He will sustain us.  He will help us to bear our burdens.  He loves us and has a purpose for our lives and a plan for our life’s.
