Anxious

Therefore they said to Him, "What shall we do, so that we may work the works of God?"
Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent."
John 6:26-27

Was meditating on John 6 and 7 over lunch today. As well, have kept this verse in my mind:

Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.
1 Pet 5:6-7

I read a lot. I have been trying to get a more solid grasp of economics, history, and politics. My university education has been woefully deficient in these areas. My friends aren't really into these sorts of thing. So I have been feeling a little isolated, in terms of what is going on currently and how to prepare for the future. But, that is another topic for another day.

So with all these burdens and problems on my heart, I took the only reasonable course of action.... I drowned myself in video games. I think I am over that stage now. (Although, I don't think I'll be cutting video games out of my life anytime soon.)

Perhaps, I am an overly anxious person. I am not superman. I cannot solve budgetary issues in the United States that will inevitably affect the quality of life here. I cannot overturn legislation that outlaws Christianity. I cannot single-handedly undo years of brainwashing and social reform that undermines the family unit. There are many things I cannot do.

However, there is one thing I can do... I can believe and trust in Jesus.
