Refuse To Worry

4 March 2025

I titled today's post with the start of my devotion this morning. I am exploring a different path; for the last 12 years, I've worked as a nurse at the bedside, for Home Health, and specialty ambulatory. There is a growth period when starting a new chapter in life, whether it's a job, school, etc. One must remember that each day will have its own set of challenges.

I find this comforting as I manage the day-to-day challenges of this new journey. As much as I'd like to sit and worry about what I do or do not have, what I may be running out of, etc., I must stay close to my Higher Power. He, alone, takes away the anxiety constantly running scenarios through my mind that keep me up at night.

It started out slow, but over the years, I've learned always to be grateful, especially in uncertainties because I may not know what to do now, but my Higher Power does. That's all that matters!

Verses of the day:

Luke 12: 25-26, "Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?"

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, "Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."

I am confident that I am where I am supposed to be.

Can't Give Up Now by Mary Mary - 1st/2nd verse and chorus:

Verse

There will be mountains that I will have to climb

And there will be battles that I will have to fight

But victory or defeat, it's up to me to decide

But how can I expect to win if I never try

Chorus

I just can't give up now

I've come too far from where I started from

Nobody told me the road would be easy

And I don't believe He's brought me this far to leave me

Verse

Never said there wouldn't be trials

Never said I wouldn't fall

Never said that everything would go

The way I want it to go

But when my back is against the wall

And I feel all hope is gone

I'll just lift my head up to the sky

And say help me to be strong, oh
