Praise Him for His Plans!
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.”

PRAISE REPORT!
"The Lord delivered me from anxiety - fear of the future, and obsessive rumination over a past of mistakes. When I gave my life to Christ, I woke up with confidence in the morning. I said, "Here I am, Lord! How will you use me today?" I did not know, and yet, that was OK! Because I knew that God had it all in control. Even things that seemed crazy and annoying always seemed to fall into place in some divine way. Whenever I start to spin into panic and I try to plan things way in advance, spending tons of time and energy trying to plot out my entire life, I turn to God and give it to Him. He sees the big picture, and I am eager to help him paint it, small brush stroke at a time."
