Release Your Burdens

Recently, it seems that all I can do is worry...
                                   "What will I do with my life?..."
                     "What career will I have?...Is that going to be enough money??"
     "Am I going to be able to support myself?"             
                                            "Why does everyone else have a plan, and I don't??"
  "Where is my plan, God?...Where is my path and my destined career?"
                           "WHAT AM I MEANT TO DO??"...
...And i'm realizing now that these are all questions. All i'm doing is asking questions. I'm not worrying over specific facts, specific statements. I'm worrying over questions...
I'm worrying over questions because I don't know the answers to the future...and if I did, I wouldn't be worried. But what I tend to forget is that GOD DOES know the answers to the future...
He has promised me strength. He has promised me guidance. He has promised to never leave my side. And so knowing all of this I really can only ask myself one more question...
      "If an OMNISCIENT, OMNIPOTENT, OMNIPRESENT, God is on my side.....
                                                         ....WHY AM I WORRIED??" 
It's hard to let go, and just trust, especially when it seems so much is on the line and so much is at risk (my future). But I know that I need to. I know that if I don't trust Him now during my scariest of times and have faith that He will catch me, I will never truly be able to leave my worries at his feet; I'll never truly be able to stand firm on my faith in Him. 
We cannot let life become a burden, and when we worry and stress, that's exactly what we're doing. Sure life isn't easy, and there will always be struggles, but when you don't learn to release those struggles to God, it's your relationship with God that soon becomes the struggle. As soon as we let our lives become a burden on us, we mock God. We forfeit the very relationship that was intended to relieve us of our burdens in the first place. 
And I don't know about you, but thats a risk I'm just not willing to take...
