He’s watching.

So today I was letting my mind get wayyyy too stressed out. About my job, about other possible jobs, about if they’re worth it, about the truck that was going ten under right in front of me. *deep breathe* About money, about my bills, about my health, about if my money will pay all my bills and pay to get me healthy. About God, about His plan for me, about if I’m going to make a stupid decision or not and screw it all up. About school… it’s starting. Very soon. About money to pay for that. About….oh a rabbit—yes really— about my boyfriend, about him coming home, about our issues, about my friends, about if they’re really my friends. Then I looked up… and I saw this:

Look at that. It’s perfect. It’s amazing… now how can you look at that and say that there is no God, and that He’s not in control of everything? I mean yea… the sun reflects off the ocean yada yada yada, but who made it that way? Everything is just too perfect to have just, happened. It is SO important that we just stop. Just stop. Breathe in and see that there is so much more meant for your life, and though they may seem like big things… big things that hurt; they don’t really matter. That is so unbelievably difficult for me to get through my head. It doesn’t matter. So don’t worry so much about what has happened, what is happening, and what will happen because GOD, the maker and creator of the universe and everything that we see—He's going to take care of it. My money, my constant pain, my relationships… He’s got it allll under control (which is grandddd, because I sure as heck don’t). Now, I say this… but please don’t think I am able to follow this all the time easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy. As you’ve seen above, I clearly worry. A lot. It happens, and it takes a mustard seed of faith and a LOT of prayer not to worry about things that seem like OH! Tom finally caught Jerry—shows over!  It’s something that takes work. Kind of ironic… It takes a lot of work to remember that we don’t have to do all the work. 1 Peter 5:7 says “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”  That’s what He’s here for, that’s why we get to invite Him into our lives and our hearts. It’s definitely not to show Him how great we are— it’s so we can admit how broken we are. And that can be a hard thing to do… Frankly, I know for a fact that all of the stuff that I am going through I CANNOT do alone, and yet I find myself trying to take control of situations that can’t possibly be handled by anyone else other than my creator.
So, if you are worried about something, I encourage you to just breathe. Just stop. Remember that everything is going to be ok. It may not be your version of “ok”, but God’s version of “ok” is a lot better in the long run, I PROMISE
Now, just as a reminder of how amazing He is, look at what else is just sitting around in the palm of his hand:

NASA’s Eye of God

NASA’s Darling of Astronomy

NASA’s best guess of the Milky Way Galaxy

God’s work goes so far we don’t even have telescopes that can reach it all [yet?]! So I know if He has time for all of this and cares for every bird in the sky and every fish in the sea, then I know He knows and cares about YOUR problems—even the tiny ones, and He’s got you in His hands.

Psalm 27:1
The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?
