What God Thinks Is All That Matters, Who cares what people think..a lot of us do

The title says it all. This is something I'm really really trying to work on, and every day I fail over and over again. So I pray that God will help me with it, and you know what, he puts the test there for me to work on it and I fail!

Sometimes I feel like I bend over backwards for some people and a lot of times I don't get that in return. I'm not saying that when I do something for someone that I expect something back. A lot of times I feel I only get called or talked to when someone needs something.

I can't say no! If I do my stomach is in pitts all day long because I feel like the worst person in the world. I can't get rid of the guilt! Why do I care what people think, I know it's PRIDE! I worry what people are going to say, what people are going to do. I care to much about it, but yet at the same time I have such a low self esteem! I feel that I can work more on my faults by letting it out, then keeping it all bottled in. No I'm not depressed or miserable. Just weaknesses I have, so if you want to judge me go ahead ! lol

This quote says it all....
"He who fears something gives it power over him."--Arab proverb

People have the power over me when it should be God I fear and what God thinks! Everything I do in this world should be to glorify him. Basically the saying, what would Jesus do.

Lord, I pray that you'll just take this prideful heart away, and fill it with concerns of you! I want to strive each day to glorify you in all I do. To love you more each day, to be with my family and help be a supportive mother and wife. Help others to see you in me! Take my worries and my fears of what the world thinks. Let me fear you and only you and live each day to the fullest, for I never know when it will be the last! I long for the day to be with you, but while I am here on earth, you are who I seek!

I love the verse, I'm going to sleep peacefully on this
"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."--John 14:27
