6:45 A.M.

It's 6:35 in the morning and I am:

• too tired to get up and
• too awake to go back to sleep

and so I:

• rehearse everything that has gone wrong and
• worry about everything else that could go wrong

when I should be:

• praising the Lord for all the good things He has done and
• being thankful that nothing happens in my life that He doesn't allow

and so I determine to:

• pray about all the things that concern me and cause me to worry
• commit everything to the Lord and trust Him

but instead I fall asleep and:

• wake up an hour and a half later and
  
• wonder why I was in such a worried state of mind

so now I'm humming the words (in my mind) to an old song that goes like this:

• Why worry when you can pray?
• Trust Jesus, He'll be your stay;
• Don't be a doubting Thomas
• Just take Him at His promise
• Why worry, worry, worry, worry
• When you can pray?

It's now 8:05 a.m. and the Lord will walk with me today, each step of the way.
