Just what I needed

by Patrick on Apr.01, 2008, under Blog

So I woke up right before 5 o’clock this morning. Partly because I was worried about being late the first day at my new job… but also because I felt well rested and ready to get moving.

Since I had the extra time, I was able to sort through my boxes of office stuff and consolidate what I want to take to the office today. I also had time to read a devotional online. I happened to go to the Upper Room website and this one phrase helped me so much today:

“…my needs will be provided for if I trust God and leave my anxieties and burdens with God. Just then, my fears were swept away, and my heart was filled with hope and gratitude as I left home for work.”

I’ve had my own anxieties starting a new job, and this perspective was just what I needed this morning.
