When I worry, fear or become irritated about things that are happening to or around me, they are symptoms that my vision of God and His kingdom has become blurred.
The things that He wants me to do are difficult for me to accomplish in my own strength. Only by trusting and abiding in Him am I able to observe how He is at work around me.
Usually when I am anxious and frustrated I discover that He is wanting to do a work in me that will bear the fruit of His Spirit. By simply trusting Him and focusing on His presence I experience His peace and joy.
That always gives me the strength and wisdom I need to persevere and observe the power of His Spirit working in my life.
