Does that show that you don't trust yourself to manage things for your own benefit? What would have caused you to feel untrustworthy? Don't tell me, just a thought.

I don't feel untrustworthy. I don't understand why you are posting this.

Last year, I had what I would consider to be an experience with the Holy Spirit, and it changed my life. I had left the faith, and was an atheist during that time, and it changed everything. I became born again, and it has been something that I never experienced when I was a Christian before I left the faith a few years ago. I pray, and have a deep relationship with Jesus now, but sometimes...I still focus on stupid things, things of this world. In prayer one night, I felt God's still small voice say...''you are human, this is why you sometimes focus on the world.'' It gave me comfort, but I don't want to focus on the world, I want to stay focused on Jesus always. It was seemingly easy right after my experience last year, and every day I'm grateful for my new found faith, but what I mean by being caught up in the world...is worry. I still worry about things that I shouldn't worry about, for God is in control. I know He is, but then, why do I worry? I worry over losing my job, or not being a good enough wife for my fiance, etc...these types of things. Can anyone relate? I pray about this, and ask for Jesus' strength to overcome worry, but it seems to be something that is my nemesis. Do any of you wrestle with worry, and how do you let it go, and let God take it from you? 

We must have faith, but many things are not done by faith alone, we must be competitive at the work place, continuously upgrading our skills, been on top of things. Making our selfs productive.

Trying not to offend others, people hold gradges and they keep it to themselves. 

Save a litle money, so you have a financial pillow.  

We have obligations to our faith and also to people around us.

Go to the movies, instant of the prayer meeting sometime. (that's mine).

( I wanted to graduate by faith alone, I learn my lesson that's what I mean not by faith alone).

This is my opinion, which I don't follow to a t.

We learn not to worry, but not by becoming negligent.

Hope that may help, and that

 I am not impolite.

Because, worry is way of trying to do damage control, it is about self preservation. It is about saving oneself. Does that mean we have to be reckless to enjoy life? Some people live that kind of life. Why? because they do not want to miss out on life. So they do a lot of sport, work hard, and generally keep too busy to avoid old and dead. Nothing wrong with that. But the Christian faces fear, all fear, and lives a life which is secure on Christ. They don't have to run across in front of a fast train to prove that they can cheat death. I'm not saying you are like that, but just to show how people will challenge what they are afraid of by playing with danger, whether physical or moral danger.

So people try to create safety and security for themselves. If people lack confidence in whatever they are doing on life, then they tend to worry, because they feel that the might be missing out on something that makes them feel complete and satisfied. 

The Bible says that the fear of death is the bottom line of all fears, and that people are subject to worry and burdens all their lifetime, because of their fears.

And as I was saying to you, do you worry because you feel that you are going to let yourself down, like you have in the past? If so, then you can be confident that Christ is on your side for success.

I was full of fear until I began to place my dependence upon God.  After beginning to rely upon an infinite God to show me salvation from any situation I began to out grow fear.

Fear still works to drive me but its grip is very weak for I answer fear by as did Hananniah, Azariah and Michael.  If it be Gods will to save me praise God but if not then praise God.  I cannot fight against God nor do I want to.  But if God be for me then who can be against me?

I conclude then that my job is to seek to be in the will of God always for even death is over come by God who can do all things!
