Worrying God

"In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus insists on the filial trust that cooperates with our Father's providence. He is not inviting us to idleness, but wants to relieve us from nagging worry and preoccupation. Such is the filial surrender of the children of God:
To those who seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness, he has promised to give all else besides. Since everything indeed belongs to God, he who possesses God wants for nothing, if he himself is not found wanting before God. " (2830, Catechism of the Catholic Church)

Probaby the hardest thing for me to do is lift up my worry and stress to God in prayer. I know that we are not supposed to worry and fret over things but somehow I still struggle with this on a daily basis.

This section of the Catechism is talking about having the kind of trust in God that a child has in its parents and following their guidance because "they know what they're talking about.....right?"

Today I had a meeting with my boss. I told him I was uncomfortable with something that he was asking me to do. While he is normally very understanding and goes along with most of my decisions, he thought I was overreacting. I was totally surprised by his response and didn't know what to say. Since the meeting I have been down on myself for bringing the issue up (it's not a moral one) and down on myself for making it sound so petty when I presented it. It is something I feel strongly about but my reasons were not conveyed in the best light.

So I come home wondering if I should send him an email and apologize or try to stop by his office the next time he's in. My husband said "No, just drop it." Women are wired so differently. We worry what the after effects of our conversation with someone are and men don't remember it past the time we leave their sight.

My struggle, once again, is to lift this worry up to the Lord and let him lead on my journey in this job.

I am so thankful to have someone so capable guiding me in my life! Praise be to God!
