Prayers please!

With 12 days left i am feeling the pressure of all the things left to do.  I am really starting to stress and when i do my brain and body shut down (kinda a defence mechenisem.)  There is a handful of little things to do, and some of it involves getting things that are not near my house so my sweetheart will have to get it but he keeps forgetting and is under a ton of financial stress.   I hate to stress over one day that will be over before i know it but i just want certain things to look a certain way.   I was wondering if y'all could pray or offer any encouraging stories, verses or anything to help us keep chill and focused on God. Especially if you're on the other side of marrige .

Isaiah 26:3

I'll say a prayer for you.. Just remember why you're getting married and meditate on the fact that God brought you together! I know what it is like to feel stressed and have your body shut down - I definitely have suffered from anxiety in the past and sometimes presently as well.

: ) Be confident and know that you can do it through His strength!!

You guys WILL get married. Forget the details that don't matter. Focus on spending time with God, family and friends.

Determine what MUST get done. Make a list.

Don't let yourself get overwhelmed. Pray unceasingly.

KNOW that you CAN do it! Attitude is everything. You are almost there!!!!

Good luck! I will say a prayer for you!

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord.  Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

God is looking out for you.  If you are finding it overwhelming, call someone close to you -- a bridesmaid, you mother, groom's mother, sister, aunt, or friend.  Ask them if they can help you call ___ to make sure everything is set for the big day.  It's hard to dole out responsibilities, especially if you work so hard on it in the beginning, but it's OK to let it go to someone else.  

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the LORD and lean not on your own understanding.  In all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight.

When you feel overwhelmed, 

1 Peter 5:7

Cast ALL your cares upon the Lord, because he cares for you. 

Much love to you in your final days as a single woman -- you are embarking upon the journey of a lifetime, and one that The Lord is going to watch over!

I will pray.  I think it helped me to make a list of the things that absolutely had to be done and focus on those things.  There were a lot of things that could have been done, but I knew that I didn't have time for everything so I had to prioritize and let some things go.

In the end, you and FI need a marriage license, a pastor and possibly witnesses.  The rest is extra.  I hope you are able to relax and find peace in these last days.  You should be able to enjoy this experience so I hope that you'll find a way to enjoy it.

It will all be behind you soon and you and FI will be together as man and wife.

Just remember that everything we do is for the glory of God. He is so happy that you and your FI are getting married, He doesn't care about the details. Do everything in this planning process for Him and remember what's important- at the end of the day all that matters is that you're married. I will say a prayer for you and I know you will have a beautiful day!

Thanks so much.  I will write down all those verses and look up those songs (really good ones btw, thanks Kellya).

 I started to hyperventelate this morning while packing up some things. It is just so much to do. I will probably make a list here in a moment. When i stop to think of everything i need to work on my mind goes into overload. :-(
But if i cam figure it all out maybe it will help me to figure out who i can ask for help with different things.

 I have asked FI to take care of a few things and every day i ask him he keeps saying he forgot but he will do it.  Its really starting to freak me out. I know its not a must have but its important to me and i wish he would act like it, is that wrong of me?
