ANXIOUS!!

 Philipians 4:6-7 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."(NIV)
When your life feels unstable, it does not help to worry or be anxious, it is more beneficial to follow the guidance in Philipians 4:6. If you worry that your child is not doing well in school, it makes no difference rather will cause you to be irritated the more with yourself, the situation and the child. Instead of worrying you should pray to God that created the child and gave him/her to you. When you pray, the spirit of patience will awaken in you that you will be able to guide the child on the right path without irritation. A friend once told me that her son gave her so much worry concerning his performance in school that when she prayed, a solution came up that has made a great change in the child. I have adopted her style concerning my child and i will tell you it works tremendously.
When you are focused on Jesus Christ, he will take care of the situation, though we should be aware that the enemy will try relentlessly to turn our attention back to the problem and for us to feel nothing is really happening. We should know it is a lie and remain focused on Christ as we are advised in Philipians4:7.
*******Have fun till we meet again*******
