Week after week during football season, I suffer. I know, Lord, that it sounds trivial and stupid. It is. And yet, I suffer.
Tomorrow will be no different. Well, on second thought, it might be different. It might be worse. The quarterback for "my" team was (slightly) injured during practice a few days ago. The injury (throwing-hand thumb knuckle) is not, in and of itself, serious, but anything could affect accuracy. And I have already started to obsess and feel sick in my stomach.
Please, dear Lord, when so many are burdened with far more serious, even life-and-death problems, take this silly anxiety away from me. I have considered the possibility, maybe even the probability, that this accidental injury was part of Your will for this team this year. How else to think about this freak event? Maybe this is not supposed to be "their" year.
Show me, please, how to cope with the anxiety. Even better, please, take it away from me!
And may Your will be done in everything. In Jesus's name~~Amen.
