There was something going on with my oldest daughter and I just couldn’t put my finger on it or figure out what it was. I would ask her what was wrong, and she wouldn’t be able to articulate it.
She didn’t seem herself and it made worried. She just seemed down, but with no reason other than some friend drama in her first grade class.
I didn’t like it.
I missed her silly go lucky attitude and goofiness.
So I prayed about it, and tried not to worry. Worry runs in my family and I have learned that instead of worrying, I will just give it to God.
So everyday at 6:22 pm I pray for my oldest.
Why that specific time?
Well that is her birthday, June 22nd, it’s a good reminder for me to pray for her.
It’s been 3 weeks and by golly she is back to normal. She is happier and I am relieved.
One can argue, it’s something that could have resolved on its’ own.
Yes, I could agree, but praying to the God of the universe – what harm can that bring?
And the best thing is , it takes the stress and worry off of a Mother’s shoulders and puts it on a good good God.
So now, multiple times a day, my phone alarm will go off to remind me to pray for my marriage (12:18), and my other children’s birthdays.
I challenge you to do the same.
Watch how it changes your day and your perspective.
Less stress, less worry.
God is good and wants to hear what’s going on with you, give Him your stress and he will bless you with the peace that surpasses all understanding.
