Panic or Prayer??

It's been awhile since my last blog..Life happens as we all know. And when life happens sometimes it is undeniably wonderful and other times well....Not so much! I have to admit it I have a fault (ok, I have many but we are focusing on this one) it's one that I am working on, but I tend to be a worrywart. Instead of just turning to Jesus when things go haywire, I tend to try and solve the problem myself. It doesn't matter if it is an issue with the house, kids, finances, vehicles or whatever, I try to fix it! That's my first mistake. :{
Is anyone else this way or just me?? I should pray rather than panic, I should open my eyes and take note of all that the Lord has given and done for me throughout my lifetime, but yet...I worry! My prayer is that I will take Matthew 6:33-34 to heart when these times arise, and they will continue to. God never promised a life without storms, He promised He would be our shield through them!

"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:33-34
