Anxiety & The Peace

Every Sunday at church, we exchange "the Peace."  The Priest says, "The Peace of the Lord be with you." and we respond, "And also with you!"  then we pass the Peace of Jesus to one another.

Then, at the end of service, one of the last things we do is turn towards the Cross and the Liturgy continues:
Priest:  "All of our problems..."
People (point to the Cross) : "we send to the Cross of Christ!"
Priest: "All our sin...."
People: "we send to the Cross of Christ!"
Priest:  "All the devil's works...."
People:  "We send to the Cross of Christ!"
Priest:  "And all our Hopes...."
People (pointing upward): "We set on the Risen Christ!"

Every Sunday I do this.  Yet, right now my heart is racing because of anxiety over having a job and being able to pay my bills.  Today, my main goal is to create a budget.  Well, the Dave Ramsey term is "Spending Plan"  so today is my "Spending Plan" day.
I want to honor God with my stewardship, and right now, I'm really failing in this area.  It is my "last Frontier" in many ways.  but a crucial one, I think.  Somehow, I get the feeling, that if I can get this one area nailed down, a lot of others will fall into place.

So, All of my Problems and Failures and Weakness
I send to the Cross of Christ!
All my sin (failures, falling short, anxiety, sadness, anger, and self-loathing)
I send to the Cross of Christ!
All the devil's works (shame, guilt, and self-condemnation)
I send to the Cross of Christ!
And all my hopes (dreams, efforts to change, and intentions)
I set on the Risen Christ!

What are you struggling with today?  Go find yourself a Cross and set the record straight!
