Jesus could say this to me almost every day.  It seems I\u2019m always troubled by something and my thoughts are so preoccupied that I don\u2019t focus on what God wants.  Each day I doubt that I should even be here and am not sure why I\u2019m here.  If I would just spend half of the time I spend worrying and doubting and take that time in prayer and thanksgiving I could accomplish so much for God\u2019s kingdom.<\/p>\n<p>Application: It is hard for me not to be distracted, but I must make a commitment to live my life so that it honors God.  I have no other reason to be here then to serve God and to touch the lives of others in His name.  I need to tell myself when I drift off to doubt that God is in control if I let Him steer my course.<\/p>\n<p>Prayer: Dear Lord help me stay focused and take this anxiety from my spirit please.
