Worry
I like how the KJV puts it: "David encouraged himself in the Lord his God." The one thing I can do to improve my frame of mind is go to Him. Nothing else lasts.
I had occasion yesterday evening to experience this. Stresses of business and the loneliness of a fresh divorce were weighing heavily on me. I decided to turn off the TV, build a fire in the fireplace and spend some time reading and just giving Him an opportunity to help me.
It works! Out of the blue my parents called with words of encouragement. And the book I was reading, which had been a bit of a slog, now read with a new clarity on the topic of how to listen for Him. God is so cool!
