Too much to worry about...

So I used to listen to talk radio a good bit. It got to the point that I didn't even listen to music, maybe the occasional worship CD. But I noticed something started to change within me- I became very anxious. I started thinking about what this world would be like for my children, would America become a Muslim country, would we be severely persecuted for our beliefs, Who would be the next president and how bad it would be no matter who won. I noticed at night when I laid down to go to sleep I had a heavy load of anxiety. It wasn't good. I had to make a change, several actually.

• Even though I loved the humor on Glen Beck, etc I had to give it up. I don't listen anymore. Matter of fact, I really don't watch the news much-but that's more because I am never home at 6 and asleep by 11, or watching Scrubs. I know that some would day that it's not good to know what is happening in the world and I am just putting my head in the sand, but that's just where I am right now.
• Also, I had to do away with my anxiety. It's sin, lack of trust in God. "But I trust in you, O LORD; I say, "You are my God, My times are in your hands; deliver me from my enemies and from those who pursue me, Let your face shine on your servant; save me in your unfailing love." Ps. 31.14-16
