Adult life is scary. Marriage, parenthood, family, jobs. While all of these things bring joy, they also bring fear. First time parenting has brought many fears to mind. Will we be able to love him enough? How can we balance marriage, parenthood, and family? Will we have enough money? It is with this that I find I have no choice but to let these fears into God's hands. I myself am not able to calm them or fix everything. I know I must let go of them so I can be the best wife, mother, daughter, sister, etc. possible.
I think about the second reading from our wedding, Philippians 4:4-9:
"...have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus..."
May the love and peace of God be with you and calm your fears.
