Be Anxious for Nothing?

Scripture says we’re to be anxious for nothing, really, nothing? Does God know how many things come our way each day that are really worthy of worrying about? I mean big things. And we don’t need to get worked up about them? Could it be true? The only way to know for sure is to give it a try. Is God real enough, does He care enough and is He big enough to meet us right here, come beside us and take on our worries, fears and concerns? It’s not easy; too often I’ll trust Him with something only to take it back upon myself only to find restlessness and unease. The better I get at leaving those things in His hands the more peace and ultimately resolution I find. I pray this for you today.

Regret and Worry

Let’s not let the regrets of yesterday and the worry for tomorrow steal the joy from today. This day is a gift from God and it is only in it that we can be in His presence. When we focus on yesterday’s failures we’re setting ourselves up for another day of disappointment. When we’re anxious for tomorrow we miss the opportunities He has for us now creating another day of failing. If we’ll listen, trust, and follow His direction today, we’re able to put the past behind us and trust that He will fulfill His promises for tomorrow. He loves you so much.

World Security

The world grasps for security in the false confidence that they have their future planned and know what tomorrow will bring. When the reality of the unknown hits, anxiousness and fear are natural reactions. Discovering you’re not in control is scary, especially when you conclude that no one is.

Supply

Scripture says that God will supply all our needs. However we have to let Him. Our choice, freewill comes into the equation all day, every day. Am I going to trust God with this or am I going to take this myself. One decision leads to peace and assurance and the other to worry and anxiousness. I know I say this frequently but He really is more than enough.

When I find myself in times of worry

I know I have just taken something into my hands that should be in God’s. When I’m anxious or fearful it’s because I’ve decided God might not be taking care of something as well as I think He should, I better jump on it. It comes down to trust. Worry is not trusting peace is trusting.
