I found this looking through my old prayer journals...

Today I realized something- Life isn't really about us. I hear that a lot from my parents and everyone else. But I realized today that life isn't really about our problems as much as why we have them. We are here on Earth to glorify God. Our problems that we concentrate on are miniscule in comparison to the life we will have in heaven forever. Why do we worry about stuff that doesn't matter when we could be showing everybody whoat Jesus really means to us? I don't know about you, but I have NEVER met anyone who gives me a great joy than God. It's not just a fake joy that almost satisfies you. IT'S REAL. Why do we worry so much when we know that the creator of the world has got us in His hands? I will tell you- because it's easier to worry. The devil makes it seem more attractive to worry. It's hard to let go, but when you do, Jesus is right there to catch you. There will never be a time when He won't. Do you honestly know anyone else who will do that for you everytime? I don't.

very true. most people do not ever come to this realization that life is bigger than themselves. once you gain a perspective of how small of a part we play in God's master story, we are able to truly be free from worry and place it all in God's hands. Every situation works to glorify God whether it was right or wrong... therefore, in every situation, God is doing something to glorify himself and we should rest soundly in that fact.

i agree with you. and nathan. it's important to realize how small we really are--that's why my favorite places are beside the ocean or inside a big cathedral. only when we realize that we are small will we be willing to let ourselves trust God.
