There are so many Christians with anxiety about how they follow God. They are so worried because they still believe that their life is in their hands, even though they are seeking God’s hand in it.

When we start to realize we aren’t the ultimate decision maker, we can start to let go of our lives a little bit.

Also, when we realize who God is-that he isn’t some big bad God up there waiting on you to mess up, then we can start to realize that he is always leading us and we can let go of the fear and worry. Instead, we can start to walk toward the little impressions and promptings he gives us without worry.

And since we know he is good, we can rest assured that even if we mess up, if our desire and intention was to follow him, he will make sure that the roads of your life cause you to end up where you are supposed to be.

I read a post today that you should fast for 14 days to a month over every decision. I thought at first that was cool, then I thought that was a little intense. Then, I thought, that person must be really worried that they are going to make a wrong decision.

I do believe that whatever you feel that you are supposed to do in order to make the right decision, then do it. Every life is interwoven a little different. Some have the kind of walk with God where they just know what he is speaking and they have learned how to follow him for themselves.

Some have people fully invested in their lives who are probably hearing clearer than the person themselves. Some have very God-wise people around them, others do not have access to them so readily. Whatever is right for you, is right for you.

But, for my life, I have learned that God is on my side. I have learned that if I can’t trust him, I can’t trust anyone.

When I believe he is speaking, I have made a beforehand decision to try to follow it to the best of my ability.

I try not to allow guilt, regret, fear, and anxiety to wreck my brain if I feel like I did not follow him the best way or if I caused something to happen. Instead, I live in peace knowing that God knows my heart and that I truly trust him (not me) to bring together the pieces of my life.

I believe that because my heart and mind are set on him, he is leading my life when I know it and can hear him and when I have no idea what he is doing.

So instead of investing in all that worry. Get excited about life again even if there is a chance of bad things happening. Live in peace knowing that you are safe and just determine in your little heart to follow what you believe to be him and leave the rest in his hands.
