Fret Busters #23, #24
There is one thing that God says to every believer, regardless of his circumstances — “Trust Me.”
“Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.” Psalm 37:3
Confidence is not based on you having all the resources needed to take care of yourself; confidence is based upon the truth that God is faithful.
Great Quotes
You open your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing. Psalm 145:16
It is much that He should satisfy the need, the want; but He goes far beyond that. Pity is moved to meet our need; duty may sometimes look after our wants; but to satisfy the desire implies a tender watchfulness, a sweet and gracious knowledge of us, an eagerness of blessing. God is never satisfied until He has satisfied our desires. –Mark Guy Pearse
God chooses the weak things and the despised. Paul seems almost at a loss to know how to define the things, so weak and despicable in men’s eyes, that God elects to use. In a telling phrase he sums them up as the “the things which are not.” I Corinthians 1:28.
Do you fall in that category? Do not despair. Far from being at a disadvantage as compared with others, you may in fact have the edge over them. For at least you are already at zero, and have not a long way still to go to reach God’s starting point!
–Watchman Nee
Humility
Those who walk before God in humility are:
Weak enough to lean upon His strength;
Small enough to look upon His greatness;
Patient enough to wait upon His timing;
Empty enough to draw upon His fullness;
Poor enough to depend upon His riches;
Needy enough to count upon His grace.
“I love being nothing so He can be my all.” -Don Lessin

Here are some more Fret Busters from Lessin's site that I especially enjoyed!
Fret buster #11
How do you cast your care on Him?
1. Get out your “fishing pole of faith”
2. Take all your cares and put them on a hook.
3. Tie the hook to the line on your fishing pole.
4. Cast the line as far as you can into the sea of God’s faithfulness.
5. Cut the line to make sure you don’t reel back all your cares.
Fret buster #7:
Anxiety cannot abide in your heart when God’s peace comes. It is a peace your reason cannot explain. You cannot ‘reason’ peace into your heart. Peace comes because God gives it to you. Your circumstances may be anything but peaceful, yet His peace can abide within you.
Fret buster #8:
Is there something you are anxious about? If you are depressed, ask God to reveal the cause. It is possible that the root cause is anxiety.
“Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression,”
Proverbs 12:25
Fret buster #2:
How much peace does it take to balance anxiety in our lives? No amount of peace can balance anxiety because there is no balancing point. God wants the peace/anxiety ratio in our lives to be—peace 100% and anxiety 0%.
Fret buster #13:
If you don’t have peace about what you are doing, stop doing it.
Fret buster #14:
“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” John 14:27
Fret buster #15:
The peace that God gives you is not circumstantial peace. Being in a hammock at the beach on a warm sunny day is not a picture of God’s peace. Remember, the peace in your heart is God’s peace; it’s there because He’s there, not because everything around you is calm and serene.
"Meet Me In The Meadow" continues to be a blessing! I receive a message from it in my mailbox almost everyday, and each one triggers further thought, study and joy. Thanks again for posting it!
Does anyone have the complete list of all the fretbusters.
