MONDAY MORNING INSPIRATION

“The Paralysis of Analysis”

Philippians 4:6 [NKJV]

“Be careful (anxious) for NOTHING but in everything by prayer and supplication let your request be made known unto God.”

We sometimes worry about details in our lives that we have absolutely no control over while neglecting the areas of our lives that we are in control of such as our attitudes, relationships, and responsibilities. While it is natural to occasionally feel concerned, troubled, or bothered by something, it becomes a hindrance when our thoughts begin to dwell in that place.

Analysis is the process of studying something closely in order to gain a better understanding or discover more about it. When we worry about the things that life brings our way, we in reality are trying to figure it out within our own minds. The problem with this is that our analysis generates paralysis. Our worry impedes our movement. We become stagnant in our creativity.

Our anxiousness gets in the way of our progress. Imagine never having to worry about ANYTHING. It seems like an impossible thing, but Paul advises us to turn our worries into prayers. Do you want to move forward in 2010? Then pray more! Are you expecting to accomplish great things this year? Then Pray More and Worry Less!!!

PRAYER

Dear Lord, regardless of what I have to face in this world; help me to Trust in you. In the midst of the trials I may face today, I release my worries and fears to you. You are in Total Control of My Life, and I choose to trust in you. Amen
