Anxious Meditations

I'm experiencing a lot of stress right now, as I pray over friends and family. The needs are many and varied: sobriety, provision, repentance, courage, strength, leadership, healing, relationships. It seems the more I pray the worse the stress gets, but that's just me thinking any of this depends on me. I can't do anything to change what is happening, but I can place those concerns in God's hands.When I pray for myself, I'm praying for an increasing desire to know God, to want to be in the Word, to have a heavenly perspective on current events. If I remember to do so, I ask for healing. Waiting for calls, from providers who are doubtless filing paperwork on my behalf, fills me with anxiety. I like to know when and where I should be for the next step, but God has me working on patience.My nerves are raw, and I'm having trouble maintaining my calm today. All I can do is turn it all over to God, and try to rest. This is where I am.
