I wake up with an incredible neck ache and this neck ache makes my head hurt whenever I tilt my gaze towards the work on my table.
It begins as a little concession of rest and soon it becomes a torrent of laziness. I've almost effectively wasted my monday. Tomorrow's the first paper... and my very first true shot at an A in a long time. I have run through the content of the module since last friday... is that why there's this sickly complacency?

I worry, because it seems that my woes are catching up ever so quickly after I celebrate their departure. I worry because I realise that it requires effort, effort which I cannot always reliably give.

I worry because of the things on the horizon. The Sunday school lesson this Sunday, the logistics I have no idea how to do, the video with so little directions, the trip and all the packing, the money in my bank, the future of youth fellowship.
I worry because there are so many things I can be spending my time thinking about... but I don't think about them.

These worries I cast onto my God because that is my proper place. His power sustains my every good action to strive and improve. So I must snap out of the self-dependent anxiety and acquire an enthusiastic outlook because He will see to it that I glorify Him and so supply my every need.

For me, I need to stop doing my silly things. I will trust Him with my work by beginning.
