“Give your worries to the Lord, and He will take care of you.”
-Psalm 55:22 ERV
God is always with you. He is always faithful and with Him stress will not win. There will always be stressful situations we face but with God’s help, we can overcome them and learn to live a joy-filled life because that’s what He wants for us. He wants us to live life and to live it more abundantly, not stressfully (John 10:10). You can be a Christian for most of your life and still struggle with understanding and applying Gods Word to a situation. It’s easy to get caught up in thinking “why is this happening to me and how can I fix it?” It’s harder, however more affective to relinquish the control of the situation into Gods hands and trust that He’ll take care of it. We tend to like having control over situations until we lose that control and feel helpless. With God you don’t have to stay in the bonds of stress and are certainly far from helpless. When you begin to learn more about yourself through Him, you begin understanding how to have more peace in Christ.
Prayer Guide: Lord, I know You didn’t promise this road ahead to be easy but I thank You for never leaving my side. I ask that You help me search for my peace in You and better understand that I don’t have to take everything on my shoulders. You created me to live life abundantly and that abundance comes from You. I will trust in You and will no longer try to take on these burdens by myself. I will give my worries to You and trust You to take care of them. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
