Instead of telling God how big your problems are, start telling your problems how big your God is. A friend of mine posted that as her status on facebook earlier in the week. I promptly decided that is what I need to do. I tend to get overwhelmed with the worries and concerns of life. It doesn't mean that I don't trust God or that I don't know that HE can take care of them all. I just sometimes give them to Him and try to take them back again instead of leaving them with Him.
Since reading my friend's status, I have told each of the problems that come my way that God is big enough to handle them even if I am not and that I know He will give me that peace and grace and ability to get past each and every one of them.
I have still been praying over them and trusting God to take them on His shoulders instead of me lugging them around everywhere. It isn't easy to not try to take them back, I have been doing it for so long. But I am really making an effort to let them go.
I wrote this wonderful piece of advice down and attached it to my computer monitor at work where I see it every day. It is a fantastic reminder that God is bigger than anything I might encounter. With that reminder I am calmer and more focussed. I am able to let the annoyances go and be the person I want to be.
