Care

What are your cares today? What things are making you worry, get frustrated, or scared? What are you going to do about them? Is there anything to do about them? Should you be caring about them at all?

So be content with who you are, and don't put on airs. God's strong hand is on you; he'll promote you at the right time. Live carefree before God; he is most careful with you.
I Peter 5:6-7
Do what is placed in front of you to do each day and be content with who you are and what is happening in your life. Do not act like you need to be something you are not. Do not act like there is something for you do when there is not. Do not tell yourself that there must be a way it has to be. Do not be so worried about making things turn out the way yo think they should. Be content with who you are and what is happening. Allow God to make things happen at the right time, the time that God has set for it to happen. To worry about it, care about it, and attempt to make it happen sooner is a waste of time and energy. God's hand is strong and there is not point in trying so hard to make things happen. This offers all of us the chance to live carefree. We can trust that God is the most careful with us. What seems to be difficult may really be the care of God. So care today, but make your attention and focus on the best things to care about. Begin to focus on what you do have, what is going right, and how you are cared for. Stop looking at and for what you think is wrong today, what you wish would be different, and then fall into anger, depression, and fear. Care by living carefree.
Namaste'
