I've Just Been So Worried

"I don't remember closing my eyes last night. I think I tossed and turned all night long." he said.

Joshua 3:13 And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the ark of the Lord, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of the Jordan, that the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off, the waters that come down from upstream, and they shall stand as a heap.
So many times, we too have to stick our feet in the water, knowing the Lord will be there to part the waters.
