I said, "Lord, forgive me for worrying and for being full of anxiety. Forgive me for fretting and for being discouraged.

Forgive me for having the blues and feeling sorry for myself.

Forgive me for having a 'poor old me' attitude. I know You'll forgive me, because You said You would if I would confess it.

From this day on, because You've forgiven me, I promise I'll never worry again. I'll never be filled with anxiety again. I'll never be blue again. I'll never fret again. I'll never be discouraged again."

Many years have passed since I made that commitment.

Although I'll confess I've been sorely tempted, just like you have, I have not worried. I haven't been filled with anxiety at any time or become overly anxious. I haven't had the blues in all these years! God's Word works. I wouldn't encourage you to do anything I wouldn't do, or haven't done.

When I was 21 years old, I was pastor of a church which was 23 years old. There were people in that church who had had the baptism of the Holy Spirit two years longer than I had lived.

You can understand why I would feel insufficient. The church had problems, and I knew something should be said, but I didn't know what to say. I knew if I said anything, I would say the wrong thing.

I prayed, "Lord, there are problems here. I don't know what to do. I feel so inadequate." I could sense the Spirit of God reminding me of the Scripture, "Casting all your cares upon him; for he careth for you" (1 Peter 5:7).

I said, "Lord, I know I have responsibilities as pastor, but I'm going to turn this over to You. I'm not going to worry. I'm going to preach the Word and leave everything else to You."

My burden lifted and I went singing on my way to church.

God met us and marvelous things happened.

The ministers in our area had a fellowship meeting on the first Monday of every month. The preachers talked about their burdens, cares, responsibilities, and anxieties. Often they would ask me, "How goes the battle?" (They were all in a battle, but I didn't have any battle. I had the victory! Men in battle haven't won the victory yet. The battle is the Lord's; the victory is ours.) Here were these preachers with long faces talking about their burdens, cares, and problems in their churches. One of them said to me later, "Your faith condemned us when you'd wave your hand and say, 'Men, I don't have a care! Things couldn't be better!'"
