With anything that I want to do, consistency is key. I can’t workout once every few weeks and become physically fit. I can’t eat healthy one day a month and lose weight. I can’t pay attention to my marriage only once in awhile; I have to work the relationship.
Everything worthwhile requires consistency.
Anxieties can get in the way of consistency in any area. I worry and then that worry takes up time and energy that I could be doing something else. But I need to remember that I can cast all of my anxiety on the Lord who cares so very deeply for me. I cannot even fathom the depth of His love and care. He watches over me continually. And…He is strong enough to carry all of my burdens. I’m not.
A life of consistency begins with being faithful in prayer, patient in affliction, and waiting joyfully with a spirit of hope inside of me.
God will help me when I take the necessary steps–even one baby step per day is enough–one a day, every day will get me somewhere. It will also build my momentum to continue onward.
I can do something every day whether I feel like it or not. Feelings will come later–especially in the exhilaration of something completed.
