Day 34........AAAHHHH Anxiety

It is so easy for me to get overwhelmed by the smallest thing.  Packing for a trip, AAAHHH.  Cleaning my house, AAHHHHH.  Pre-planning for grocery shopping, AAHHHH.  It sounds so funny even to admit it.  I get anxious about it all. Anxiety leads to nail biting, nail biting leads to snacking, snacking leads to overeating and then I will be anxious about that. 

Philippians 4:6 (Amplified Bible)

6  Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition ([a]definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God.

I am going to tell God all my anxious thoughts and see if He guides me.  I know it works because the other day I was about to bite my fingernails and I said a quick prayer, "God, I don't want to do this, help me" and I heard a whisper to paint my nails a dark color.  I did it, I bought the darkest color I would dare wear, dark cherry, and I've been wearing it for a week.  I am more aware of the unconcious times my nails go to my mouth, and I stop myself, knowing it will mess up the nail color if I bite my nail.  Funny, how silly it is to think God cares about my nails....but the verse says if it makes you anxious then God wants to know about it.
