Freedom From Your Thoughts

Freedom from your thoughts, is there even such a thing? Your mind is connected to you, obviously, it's kind of a package deal, your body, soul and mind, they all make up who you are. Can you be free from yourself, though?

That's the question that I've been asking myself all day today.

"Can I be free from myself, God? Is it possible?"

I think it is.

Do you ever have those days where you get so wrapped up in your life, that you forget to see the big picture? You have so many stressors going on in the every day that you forget to count your blessings?

That's been my life lately. I pile up so many things in my mind, financial issues, relationship issues, body issues, school issues, until it all circles around my mind, each one screaming "Pay attention to me! Don't forget about me! me me me!" and I can't focus on anything else.

I'm stressed. I don't want to feel trapped inside myself. I don't want to worry about how much rent I'm paying, or the donut I ate earlier, which definitely wasn't healthy, but delicious I may add, or the fact that I have two tests tomorrow and three assignments that need to be done tonight, and it doesn't help that I've been putting some of my work off until the absolute last minute.

What's great about this, though, is that I have a God that is more than happy to help me through all of my problems, who is so powerful that one little plea is all He needs to change your perspective.

"God, grant me freedom from my thoughts."

Instant peace washed over me once I began communicating with Him.

How great is He? Really?

I'm so happy that I can live my whole life, and eventually more, with Him. He is really all I need.
