I'm a Stresser!

So it has recently occured to me, that the way my mind works is the way that my body follows. Let me explain. I am a "Worry-er". I can think of something and next thing I know, it is coming true. I think I might be sick, and then I am. I am worried that something won't work out, and it doesn't. I worry about life and all the little things, and then I wonder why I have stomache problems. It is pretty much a disease of the mind. For the past five or six years this has occured over and over and I believe that I am now figuring out how much of a mind game it really is! I have already been to the doctor 3 times in the past couple months for different "odd" stress -related issues. What's wrong with this picture?? Well, I have started in prayer, and in breaking down my schedule and what stresses me out. A BIG problem is that I have not yet learned to say NO. I believe that once I am able to say this beautiful two letter word, I will have a little freedom to make sure my mind is not controlling my health and my well-being. I am now going to try to simplify things and do ONLY what I know I can do until I learn to not stress, but give my life and everything I do to the Lord, and let HIM work things out. It has been a learning experience and kinda tough to realize that I am carrying stress and worry with me when I have a God who wants to take that burden from me!! I am first on His list of priorities, yet I try to handle all of my priorities without His help.
It is time to GET A GRIP! Life is wonderful and the Lord has blessed me beyond measure.. One day we will all be free of life's pain and heartache and we will be able to worship Our God and sit at His feet!!

Matthew 6:25-29
Do Not Worry 25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.
