Over Burdened

How many of you have felt the pressure to earn an income to supplement your husbands? As the eldest in my family or the nature of my personality, I have felt the burden to make ends meet...above and beyond all the things I do to save money.

This past weekend God showed me I was sinning in my anxiety. There is nothing wrong in wanting to earn more or work more. But, there was a whole lot wrong with my worrying about it. My husband also reminded me (renewed to me) his promise to take care of me no matter what. Boy, did that make me feel better. God gave a curse to the man and the woman. How is it as women, we feel the need to take on the man's curse along with our own?

I certainly was trying to bear the burden that was not mine to bear. What a relief to let it go. Praise God for His loving kindness. God forgive me for sinning against you in being anxious. One it should be enough for me to obey you when you said, "Be anxious for nothing." Two, as I read you word, I realize the reason you tell me not to be anxious. You are our Creator and you've got every thing under control. May I always remember, "All things work together for good, to them who love God, the called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28 AMEN
