Chris' prayer: Kirk Franklin's "Declaration (This is It)"

Worrying about your finances, your future
I would say that, if there were one area where I place most of my worry and fear, it would be right here. I'm not the best at managing money, or budgeting, or spending wisely. While at the moment I'm not doing too badly, I always fear that that could change at any minute.

It is something that definitely keeps me from being completely open with God and keeps me from growing as a person. And while it is great to hear that I don't have to worry about that anymore, it is much tougher to actually not worry about it. What if my car breaks down? How much will that cost? How much is it going to cost me to fix my thermostat? Why are taxes so expensive? What is this bill for? It's like a constant bombardment, and I need that reminder that it is all going to be okay far more often than I get it.

Ha. And as I'm pondering what to write next, I look up at my TV as a computer attached to it is downloading something. The text on the screen reads, "Please be patient, this could take a while." Yeah, that's true for more than just the download. It'll take awhile for me to hand this over fully to God.
