casting all of my cares upon Him.
i bought into this lie for a long time : if you aren’t worrying/ ‘thinking’ about it then you aren’t doing your best.
whatever “it” may be, satan tries to make me believe that i need to always be anticipating and planning.
otherwise i am wasting time and i will not be prepared.
pray for me, my brothers and sisters that philippians 4:6-7 would become my default.
truly transferring all glory to God.
i don’t think that i really understand His providence & goodness, nor do i think i understand my inability to do anything good or deserving of glory outside on my own.
