The Purpose Driven Life

In an effort to shake some morning panic episodes, I picked up my copy of, “The Purpose Driven Life” today. The chapter I read had to do with life being a test. “God tests you,” it says (paraphrasing, now), “but doesn’t give you more than you can handle. He gives you what you need to persevere.”

I know this to be true.

But what I’m wondering is, what if what you deal with seems aweful, even though others tell you it isn’t, but you can’t seem to shake the feeling. I guess I don’t see the goal of the test when, every day, I wake up to worrying about the same thing. Or maybe I do.

Maybe the message is to stop focusing on the bad things that can happen (losing a job, becoming terminally ill (God forbid), being homeless or financially distitute..anything bad, really) and realize that each day is a gift.

In the end, I have to ask myself, “What can I do to make this better” or “How can I do things differently”. In the end, I am just ticked off that too many worriful days have gone by; days I could have spent enjoying life and haven’t.

Maybe this is just my way of beating myself up.
