Dear friend,
_dont let the fact that there is "no trouble" trouble you.
Key scripture: Philippians 4:6-7
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition, with Thanksgiving present your request to God....
I believe half of the times we a not relax has less to do with when we are in trouble. So I wouldn't be talk about the troubles that makes us perplex, unquiet, uneasy, disturbed or restless. Because we know beyond any doubt that as Christians we are to be at peace in times of trouble (even though most times we don't). So we think that being relaxed, taking up prayers and petition with Thanksgiving should only come when there is trouble.
Today, anxiety is everywhere even when there is calmness (no trouble). Every one is in a hurry, unquiet, concerned, careful and sometimes troubled without a "trouble". The things we care about has kept us anxious even after the troubles are gone. The devil wants to keep you anxious, worried, unquiet and "unrelaxed" every time (not just in trouble but also in times when the troubles are seemingly gone). There are so many "good things" that can make you not to be relaxed. Let's look at a few of them.
*Love (Relationship)*
I strongly believe in this time and age almost every young person is not relaxed about issues that has to do with a dating relationship. We are in a hurry to find love and be loved so we get into a relationship. The excitement, the hormones, the feeling, having someone you want to call your own, having someone who calls to check on you and so on. These things are not bad in itself but the devil uses it to make us uneasy, restless, in a hurry, unquiet and then we cant be relaxed.
Part of being relaxed is being patient. We must learn to settle down and give ourselves time to grow first. *When ever you are in a hurry to get something, it most likely mean you are not ready for it.* Most times before God brings it your way he first kills that sense of urgency, that, "I need it now now Lord or else..." syndrome.
*The more ready you are the less in a hurry you will be and the better "product" you will get*
*Life's Decisions*
The easiest way the enemy can get you to make a wrong decision is to make a decide from a point of restlessness or urgency. Too often we are in a hurry to decide, the decision of the friends to keep, the place to go, the business to do, the words to say, the cloth to wear, the movie to watch, the things to do...
If there is one thing I am aiming at this morning it is to kill every sense of always being in a hurry. Relax, calm down, be patient...nothing will go wrong if you are just calm and relaxed and nothing will go right either if you are uneasy, restless or always in a hurry to get it. I think I need to say this to every single young person in a hurry to get into a relationship or make a decision....just Relax! To patient and take some time to grow yourself.
*Process*
There are things that ultimately needs a process before it becomes perfect.
*Growth* is one of them. Parents should understand that. Don't force your kids into growth. It takes time and process. Don't be all workout because you are not seeing so much changes in that child as you desire. No, just relax. Let the process have it's due course. Don't be in a hurry.
*Success* is also part of it. The picture of the successful man or woman you want to be would require a process. Go a day at a time and each day just be relaxed. You can't jump your way to the top, you'd fall right back down. Be at ease, don't be restless about it.
*Don't be under any form of pressure. Be Relaxed*
