Serenity

Today has been very trying for me. I try not to worry & get stressed about things I have no control over; but it is easier said than done.

I am concerned that we are not going to get to close on the house this Friday; which has me worried. Our agent assures me that everything is okay; but just not sure if the lender & title company can get everything done in order to close by Friday. It might be middle of next week. Normally that would not be that big of a deal; but we are moving out of state & have family coming in from out of state to help us move. Everything has been set up already to move & if closing is re-scheduled, it throws so much off. I know that it will all work out; I am just stressed about it right now. It doesn't help that I have been down here packing up this entire house by myself this week (which has me exhausted).

While sitting here worrying about how everything is going to work out, a certain prayer came to mind that reminds me to put all my worries in God's hands & He will guide us through.


The Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him Forever in the next. Amen.
--Reinhold Niebuhr

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths.
Proverbs 3, 5-6
