Dear Fret Worry
We have traveled a long and winding road since we’ve met. In the early days, I believed that you were a source of motivation. I was always looking to you because I thought that if you were absent I’d be unproductive. In addition, I appreciated that you took the surprise out of catastrophes. I mean, how can I be surprised when you help me see every possible outcome for an issue. Another thing is that with your help, others could see how much I cared. At least that’s what I thought. BUT, the few benefits that I thought I was getting from you were nothing close to the havoc that you have been weeping in my life. So,
I can’t anymore. As a matter of fact I am really not up to dealing with you today or any other day. The truth is, that I am tired. Actually, I’m tired of you. I’m tired of feeling stressed or anxious because of you. I’m tired of you stealing my joy and peace. I’m tired of how helpless and hopeless I feel whenever you’re around. I’m tired, God knows I’m tired. This has led me to make the decision to unfollow you permanently.
The thing is, every time I give in to you, everything in my life goes haywire. You have brought nothing but confusion to my life. I see now that my decision to constantly subscribe to your page, opening up to you and your advice has given you power over me. This was not my intention. I now acknowledge that I am to blame for allowing you to influence my life, but the buck stops here.
Today I choose peace and contentment. I choose to cast all my cares upon Jesus and not on you. The scripture tells us in Isaiah 26:3 that Christ will keep those whose minds stayed on him in perfect peace. That’s what I always needed, peace, but following you has led me into despair.
It took me a while to realize the turmoil that you were bringing into my life, but for some reason I looked past your toxic attributes.
But thank God for His Word. The Bible says that the entrance of God’s word gives lights, so when this word about peace was brought to my mind, right away I realized my mistakes. I had allowed you to consume me; therefore most of my attention was focused on what was happening around me and not on God.
I couldn’t change my circumstances, but when something went wrong you were always sliding into my DMs, ready waiting to step in. I would engage with you, listening to your way out BUT your help was really helping me down.
NOW I choose to look to Christ who promised to provide peace that passes all understanding Philippians 4:7.
In the midst of my storms, I am assured that He’ll be with me to help me successfully maneuver the waves, wind, rain, thunder and whatever else that comes, with perfect peace. And if He so desires, He also has the power to calm the storms in my life altogether.
I’m taking the power back, so you won’t disturb my peace anymore. I choose to protect my peace today and always.
See you along the God directed path.
Be blessed
