Hi Terrym79,
There is a Christian preacher/teacher named Joyce Meyer. She has helped me so much in the past year to just "enjoy everyday life", which is the name of her TV and radio program. I used to read very intense spiritual writers (Spurgeon, Tozer, and, my favorite, Andrew Murray) but I have found lately that I need "down to earth" teaching to keep me grounded. I especially like the way she teaches on 1 Peter 5:7 (which Elizabeth quotes above.) Joyce says, "Say ALL, Casting ALL your care, ALL your anxies, say ALL, ONCE AND FOR ALL ..." That emphasis really worked for me. (Sometimes it is easy to skim over the very words that we need to concentrate on the most.)
I will definitely pray for you. I know God hears even the faintest whisper when we cry out to him:)
