I lay it down! ...but then I pick it up :-(

Why do I do it?  I place my problems at the feet of the cross. I give them up! I let them go! I feel the peace and the happiness and the comfort and...every single pleasant thing that you receive from God just by giving your problems to Him. It's fantastic! It's exciting! It's...well...honestly, it's perfect. So, why? Why do I pick it back up?  I'll be doing great and then BAM! I start worrying again or trying to fix it!  I guess maybe you can't just lay it down and forget about it.  Maybe I need to lay it down and then continue to praise God for His work in the situation. Perhaps it's when I let go and stop thanking and praising that I leave that door open for the fears and failure thoughts to enter in (or, more accurately, stampede in)!

Lord, thank You for this situation. Thank You that I don't have to worry about it, that I personally cannot fix it and that I have to give it to You because You are in control of everything. I love You and look forward to how you will bring us out of this long trial triumphant and with praise on our tongues! Amen
