Dear God,

Hi. As I mentioned earlier today and last night, I'm feeling a little bit anxious about the changes going on. On one hand, I don't want to do anything because it all seems so complex. On the other hand, I realize that it's going to happen whether I'm a part of it or not. I had better be a part of it, because I know that there is no way that my wife can handle the relocation business by herself. And she shouldn't.

This is one of those times that I have to realize that I am up for this. You have given me the strength to handle and lead my family in this move. I realize that my anxiety is from uncertainty and wanting to have everything handed to me. I guess it's a little bit of laziness, combined with wanting things that are not meant to be known right now to be known.

Lord, help me to courageously do what I can do. Help me to break the larger tasks down into smaller ones. Help me to stay focused and to be purposeful in how I live my life. I can see how I've become lazy at this, and yet you're showing me that this IS the time for me to change.

Thank you so much for being patient with me. I know that my faithlessness hurts you, and I want to be more motivated to change it. Thanks for your love and grace.

You are, after all, The God Who Provides. Just as you provided for Abraham and Isaac's sacrifice, you will provide for us. You know what we need. Help us to do the work to get it.

I love you, Heavenly Father, Almighty God.

I love you, Jesus Christ, my brother, my Savior.

Your son/brother,
Danny
