Don't stress, just Pray!

As I saw my hubby for the 15 minute drive home before he hopped in his car to go to his job, we quickly filled each other in on 'our' respective days, and then he told me about a call I had received and needed to respond to ASAP.  As he left, the last words he said to me were:

"Vanessa, don't stress, just pray!"

My dear hubby knows me far too well!  I love him so incredibly much!

However I did stress and stress and stress some more.  I don't like the person I am, the mother I am, the wife I am when I stress.  Why is it that something so basic and so simple in my Christian walk, is so hard?  Why can't I just stop 'stressing' and hand it over to Him, pray about it, get quiet and really seek Him?  Why don't I trust that He has the best interests of my family in mind and that I don't have to go about this alone?

Some times I think it is because I feel so incredibly alone as I walk this walk and really don't have the community or support to confide in.  However, He should be and is enough. So I will stop stressing and go pray, or at least try to stop stressing while I pray! :o)

If anyone has the secret to this, please let me know........
