Feels like time is pressing on you

Do you ever have those kind of days when it feels like time is pressing on you? You know you have to do this and that but you just don't feel motivated enough. You've enjoyed the support you been receiving from friends and family. Sometimes however it just seems like all the good advice is making you anxious because you don't know who to trust. That's where I'm at now. I do trust God. If I didn't, then I'd really be in a mess.

To me, it just seems foolish not to trust God. I love to read his Word and remember all the great promises in it. I confess that I don't dwell on it as much as I should. I admire the great Bible teachers and missionaries that have laid aside everything for the sake of others. This is hard for me. I could blame the circumstances that have led me to this stage or say that it's someone else's fault. I could blame my environment. Environment, some say, plays a big role in shaping character. No, I won't do that for the simple reason that we all make choices in life. Some are bad. Some are good.

I know I can't let the feeling of time pressing in on me be the deciding factor in whether or not I move forward or stay where I am. Change is scary, but having the Lord there beside you lessens the impact of it.
