Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you. 1 Peter 5:7(NLT)
When do you have trouble being still? When you misplace something like your car keys? When you are waiting to see if you got selected for a job? Maybe you lost a credit card. Expecting to hear from a doctor on a recent visit. Add to the list.
Human nature makes it hard to not be worried about stuff but as a follower of the most high God it is necessary to try to emulate Him. Another version of today’s verse says to “cast” or “throw your cares on God” but how many of us love holding on perhaps thinking it will help? It won’t.
So what to do, you might wonder. First everyone has had this issue so stop, take a breath, talk to God and simply ask yourself what good your unnecessary stressing is going to do except keep you tense,irritable, and unable to relax and if at night go to sleep. Truly purpose in your heart you will trust God with the issue and then get your mind going in a different direction. The more you practice this discipline the easier it becomes. Now go in peace and let God take your burdens.
PRAYER: Oh how I want to trust you with issues that pile up in my life.Help me to keep my heart focused on above and let go of whatever it is that is trying to torment me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
