If Only...

When big events happened, I clung to God’s Word and found strength, comfort, and encouragement. But with smaller stressors, I didn’t apply the same level of faith, especially to job situations. I was too worried about losing the job for one reason or another and stressing over mistakes.  

My life would have been much easier with a lot less stress if I had applied the same faith to these smaller concerns as I did to the bigger ones.

Funny, now that I’m retired and have fewer things to stress over, I find it much easier to give everything to God. Has my faith grown more with life experience? Probably so. More experience has shown me all the ways God kept His promises.

I sound like St. Thomas, wanting to see before I believed.

If only that wasn’t the case…

Thank you, Lord, for being patient with me while I figure it out. Amen.
