Last week was my 15th birthday, and naturally, I went to the DMV as soon as possible. I couldn't wait to get my learners permit. So much freedom! So much power! MWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAAA!!!!...... (oops, did I actually say that out loud?) After a little bit behind the wheel, it finally sunk in: I had a huge responsibility. I had to get the people in the car from point A to point B without killing anyone. Easy, right? But once I started thinking about everything that could go wrong, I started freaking out.
Thankfully, I successfully kept my head on and made my way safely around town. But it got me thinking, why was I freaking out? Sure, things could go wrong, but why was I completely losing it? I don't have anxiety disorder or panic attacks, and I was pretty calm on the outside, but I was absolutely terrified on the inside. Why was I so anxious? I still don't know what was going on. But I do know that Philippians 4:6-7 says: "Do not be anxious about anything, but by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Even in the little things, we need to let Jesus take the wheel (hehehehe) and give Him control. When we are worried, we cannot fully focus on God. God should always be first, and make sure our fears do not get in the way. Instead, give our fears to Him.
