Get Unstuck

Are you stuck in the same place trying to move forward in life but not gaining traction?  Recently, I realized that my thoughts were far out of line with what God's Word says.  I was spending a lot of time worrying, worrying about money, my children, our future, etc.  Matthew 6:31-34 explains to us that we are not to spend our time worrying, but to seek God and His kingdom.  

Worrying paralyzed me with fear; I was literally stuck.  I wasn't moving forward in what God has for me, I was like a plane circling the runway - in a holding pattern.  You know what happens to a plane that stays in a holding pattern?  It eventually runs out of gas and crashes.
