Enjoy every minute! (or Trusting in God)

It is very easy to let ourselves get anxious about life. Be it our current issues or things that may occur in the future. But God does not want us to live with a heavy heart. He came to bring life in all its fullness. He said 'come to Me you who are burdened and I will give you rest.'
God wants us to enjoy every minute of our lives in His presence.  It is not God's will that we live worrying or in fear. Worries and fears take us away from dwelling in His presence.
How do we get rid of worries of fears?
Jeremiah 17:7 -8 gives us a huge clue.
"But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord ,
whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water
that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought
and never fails to bear fruit."

Let us cast our burdens onto God and trust Him with them. So often we want to handle everything by ourselves, but God desires us to trust Him with our issues and troubles. it is as we trust God with our problems that we open a door for the peace of God to reign in our hearts!
Enjoy every minute.
