I've got 2 thoughts

The first one came from thinking about the New Age movement. It has a way of explaining the things f God is lame mans terms, but it denies where the power comes from. New Age says the Universe will make things happen as you visualize goals and desires. In agreement with making your goals and desires known to God, through prayer, what a sweet intimate way of communication that is, God orchestrates things in the spiritual realm on our behalf in accordance with His plan. It's scary because of the scriptures in 2 Timothy...

1But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.2People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,3without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.

2nd thought is about... not fretting, because it leads to evil. In Oswald Chambers devotional, my utmost for His highest, he wrote that fussing is essentially forcing and elbowing for your desires to be manifested. But resting in God, even though circumstances may be crazy, doesn't depend on the circumstances, but on your relationship. OK, so if God, my providing, amazing, faithfully loving and caring husband knows of my way, he wants me to trust him that he will orchestrate perfectly and timely. But when I start worrying and letting my mind go into unrest mode, God says that will ALWAYS lead to evil.

"Lead me not into temptation, but deliver me from evil." I Won't fret about a thing, lover. For I am just jazzed to be her. My dove, there is no flaw in you.
