Maybe you could help me with a problem I am having...
I tend to worry about my work too much. I am an accountant working for the State of Florida.. I think I need spiritual guidance more than anything else
One of my favorite verses in the Bible is Phillipians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
Any suggestions on what I should do would be VERY much appreciated.

Kidd,
I used to worry about work all the time I have been in the same line of business for 12 years. I used to be a constant worrier about everything but then it occurred to me. Everything I ever worried about either God brought me through it, God worked the situation out or what I worried about never happened.
Being an accountant I am sure is very demanding and there are times at work you have bad days and that is normal. I offer the day up to the Lord and ask him to bless the work of my hands and to be a witness for Jesus.
What you should do? Trust in the Lord more, pray to him and talk to him about your worries, concerns and fears and know that he loves you with an everlasting love, Just take one day at a time.
God bless you.

Dont worry its just a job. If tomorrow you get fired you will still be here, the world will not end. What are you afraid of. Losing things if your not at peace in your heart all those things dont matter anyway. They are just things. If you want to be spiritual desire to be without desire. Find out what it is you desire and spiritualize it. Find out the things in your life that are realy important. Most of those things have nothing to do with money.
I was laid off yesterday. I dont live in Florida. I have to heat my home. WIll I be ok. Yes because God may not give me what I want he will give me what I need and I need to be happy with the things I need not the things I want.

You seem quite sincere in your question here. I feel that you just need to find a qualified therapist to talk it out with, and you'll have your answer in no time!
Life is much too short for all this worrying that everyone does! You are not alone. I see it everywhere.
Good luck.....this is one of those things you can FIX! Go for it!

Check your work with a computer and don't work for any mobs or other illegal orginizations. Get confident that you know what your doing and spend some more time in the word. Problem solved.

I would suggest that you talk to your pastor or to a Christian Therapist. Pray on the matter, study your bible and ask your friends to pray for you, too.

Satsang: Swami Sukhabodhananda
Commitment is the language of the wise; complaint is that of fools. Commitment is a responsibility and it includes accountability.
Our weaknesses result in disappointment. To overcome disappointment, boost your strengths. The greatest strength comes from the energy of commitment that brings excellence in all walks of life. Few people traverse the road of success without a puncture or two, but it is commitment to excellence that takes them through.
To be committed is not being ‘stuck’; it is an integration of one’s being. If you are committed to honour your word, the base self in you will discourage you. If your energies are low, you will succumb. If you follow the higher self, the lower self will serve you, slowly getting integrated with the higher. In such a state there will be integrity. Without integrity life is shallow.
You are both actor and thinker. Every time you lie, the thinker warns you that you are lying and the actor asks you to shut up and continue telling lies. It is like riding a chariot with two horses going in two different directions. With commitment, however, you are a person of integrity, and excellence is attainable.
Can we test before we trust? >>
Like an eagle, can we test before we trust?
Eagles lay eggs on a cliff or high peak in nest of grass and thorns. When the eggs hatch, the weight of the eaglets exerts pressure and the thorns start pricking the newborns. Then the female pushes the eaglets out of the nest. As the eaglets nearly fall, the male picks them and places them back in the nest.
Meanwhile, the female removes the upper layer of grass, so that the eaglets rest directly on the thorns that prick them. The eaglets are yet to test their wings. Now the male pushes the eaglets out of the nest. This process continues till such time that the eaglets are able to foresee the danger in falling and start using their wings. Slowly they realise their ability to use their wings and start flying.
Observe the commitment of an eagle reflected in the way it executes family responsibilities and the way it conducts itself while parenting. Bring similar commitment to all walks of life; be it in the family, at work, in society or in your spiritual life. Excellence happens when there is love that helps you to grow and contribute.
Commitment also involves dropping illusions. We do not see the world as it is; we see it projected through our verbose minds. Our minds are filled with thoughts and words. Words represent experiences. Words are also influenced by memory. From the past, we see the present. Hence we create illusions created by words, but we must filter them wisely.
The mind creates dreams. The aware self in you sees reality. Awareness without the ‘I’ is the higher self. The mind with its illusions is the lower self. Have the commitment to operate from the higher self.
Through commitment, balance all walks of your life... family, work, social and spiritual. Creativity is to balance all walks of life. Creativity is just not creating something new always. Creativity brings excellence in one’s life. It is a state of well-being. Well-being creates completion. When one is complete, one is alive and vibrant in all walks of life.
