Give your burdens to the LORD, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall. Psalm 55:22
In the Hollywood movie Bridge of Spies the Russian Spy who was going to be released in a prisoner exchange for an American Pilot held captive was asked when he was about to be released “Are you worried?”to which his response was “would it help?” Indeed that is a very wise answer. The answer of course is NO it does not help, never has and never will.
I got a chuckle from that reply because you and I both know that worrying is good for nothing except ulcers, high blood pressure,insomnia, and wrong thinking. Why is it so hard to pray then let God be in charge? You have to focus on things to bring peace not fear. Even if a bad thing happens that is not the end of the story. Life goes on.
Try to not strike out on your own to figure things out. I have done that and truly it will make you sick. Guess who wins then? Satan. Tell Satan he is not going to cause you fear because you trust in God.
PRAYER: Oh to stop worrying how glorious indeed that would be. Pass one test and another pops up. I choose to break this stronghold of worry and not let the enemy have control of me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
