My anxiety is directly tied to my ‘what if…list that is a mile long. I’m getting better but I get impatient when an issue isn’t resolved, leading to my what if list going into orbit. Trusting God in the here and now moments, practicing His presence as I sense my anxiety being ramped up, is the only remedy. Worrying about tomorrow does not help today. I can only handle what God has given me in this moment. I can only do what I can do today, and even then, my efforts rely on His grace and mercy. It all sound simple, but allowing myself to walk with God’s lead takes real effort and concentration. .
