Category: Family Journal with Mary DeMuthHolding onto Worry
Parents worry. It's part of our job description. Consider the words of Jesus: "Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don't worry about missing out. You'll find all your everyday human concerns will be met" (Matthew 6:33, MSG). Make a list of all your parenting worries. One by one, pray that God will shoulder them for you, that He will meet your concerns.
--Mary E. DeMuth
This is part of Mary E. DeMuth's guided journal, "Creating the Family You Always Wanted," a 12-week journey in Christian parenting. Twice a week, you'll receive a new journaling prompt encouraging you to think about your family--and God--in new ways. Use these prompts in your own journal or in group discussion. If you're joining this journal mid-way through, you can start journaling at any time, and stay subscribed at the end, when the journal will restart and you can receive the prompts that you missed.

That's so true!
I've been worrying so much lately... And it hasn't helped me a bit.
So today I decided to let go. I put my worries in His hands and I feel so relieved and protected!
I KNOW that He's watching over me and my family, and that everything is O.K.
Thank you, Lord, for today I feel real PEACE!
