Faith? What faith?

My problem is that I get stuck in my situations of worry and forget how to enjoy.  Maybe I make fretting a sort of *god*, and noodle over what's not happening, forgetting that God Almighty is in control.  And honestly, I can sometimes almost hear the Lord whispering to me, telling me to get my eyes off of the water (as in the case of Peter) and to look at Him.

You'd think I had this mindset of faith nailed down after all these years, that my reliance would be stronger.  Huh.  What do I know?

Back to the drawing board.  Guess you're never too old for God to get your attention.  Just wish I'd learn things once (or even three times) and not have to be reminded repeatedly of how human I am.  Brother.  And it's not that I think I'm above a bit of correction, but it does get old.  But truth be told, if I got more sleep, I think my attitude would be more optimistic and believing.  Exhaustion does color a person's perception of what goes on.
