Confession: I have been overwhelmed with anxiety due to my daughter starting kindergarten. Fear is overtaking me that she will be hurt, that she will decide Jesus isn't so great, that she might hear things her 5 year old ears are not ready to hear, that someone might say something that would break her spirit and self-worth, that her teacher will not see what an amazing, caring, loving, funny, endearing child she is, that she will become bored with school and swear off learning forever.
Truth: My God is big enough to handle it. He is in control. Thank God we know the Truth and are teaching it to her. I should be spending my time praying to him to intercede on her behalf. "Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts." Psalm 139:23 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." Philippians 4:6 And my favorite, "Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?" Matthew 6:27 & Luke 12:25
