Hard Night

So last night was rough... I went to a baseball game that was fun to watch, but I didn't know anyone. I thought it was a prime time to meet some people that also like sports. Well, everybody else went with somebody... I ended up sittin on the bus ride to ohio with a guy for 3 hours. Then when I got to the game, I was relieved and hopeful. This was squashed by the fact that I was on the end of a row with a guy sitting next to me with his girlfriend on his other side. All that to say, I didn't meet anyone... :( And I was with people for 10 hours. Made for a sad night. On the ride back home, I started thinking about what church to go to this morning. And I got that I should listen to a sermon on Matt 6 from John Piper. So being silly, I was like well lets see if I remember in the morning. This morning when I woke up the first thing through my head was listen to a sermon by John Piper on Matt. 6. When I got online and looked it up, Matt 6 talks about anxiety. It's a passage I know very well. But the sermon I just listened to talks about battling unbelief. Waring against the lies that are put in my head. Piper talked about it like a race car that an enemy throws dirt on the windshield. In order to see clearly again, you have to put on the wipers and washer fluid. His examples are symbolizing prayer and supplication. Praying in the Spirit for help believing the truths that are in the Bible.
Keep praying for my anxiety.. pray that I would believe truth. My stomach shouldn't control my life, but its slowly turning that way. :(
Couple verses to leave you with:
Ps. 56:3 "When I am afraid, I put my trust in you." Piper mentioned that the Bible doesn't say I put my trust in you therefore I am not afraid. It says WHEN I AM afraid, I will trust you."
1 Peter 5:7 "casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you."
