Have you ever laid down to sleep at night and all of a sudden, all sorts of anxious and racing thoughts about the cares and concerns of the future come shooting through your mind? Well, they sure have mine! One thing that I've found that helps is when you pillow your head at night to instead of thinking about all the worries of life, to review the entire day in your mind looking for the many different ways that the Lord has helped you throughout the day. You will be so surprised as to how much God helped you and how He carried and supported you throughout the day.
This habit of reviewing the great things that God has done in that day will help you in so many ways. It has made me more aware of how the Lord helps me throughout the day even though I don't realize it that much. You will see God as your personal Helper and Strength.
All of us need to start having our eyes opened not only at night but all the time to the great things God does for us every day because He does do so much. I'm not perfect in this by any means. This is something that I, by the grace of God have to work on too. However when we do put this into practice we will find ourselves having more joy because we see that we have such a friend in Jesus.
Great advice!
