Do NOT fret [period]. ..for emphasis

For once I think Oswald Chambers changed my perspective on life today. I know a lot of people acclaim Oswald but I am not the biggest fan, I would point people more toward Spurgeon for Devos. Nonetheless today is the 4th of July, so if you have My Utmost for His Highest you can go take a look.

Anyways this is what I learned: Do not fret, stop and listen, suck it up and learn the lesson God is trying to teach you. I have been fretting. These past few days I have been fretting like no tomorrow. I have never felt so far from God in a long time. And I was sick of hearing that my feelings don't matter, but that small whisper I heard God telling me, "I wish I could hold her." Yes it may be just from song by The Fray that are rambaling in my head because I am obsessed to listen to them lately. I listen to bands like The Fray when I get into mellow, thoughtful moods, where I just need someone to sing their heart out instead of me trying to pace my heart out through my life. Because right now I am in a waiting period. And that is just it! I need to stop fretting and just wait on God. Yes, life is not how I would like it to be right now, but I can be content that I am in God's hand and maybe that's just it: I am not suppose to be content with this life. But I do need to be content with God. He is not my magic geanie (sp?), He is my Savior. There is a difference.
