The things that cause me the most anxiety in life are usually things that I can't control. I can't control what someone thinks of me, whether or not I get a promotion, whether this doctor appointment is going to go well. I can't control a storm. I can't force people to make decisions I want them to make...
There are entirely too many things in life that are out of our hands, so why do we stress about them? We need to remember that the God who created us and loves us and calls His own IS in control. When we can look at these situations in our lives and remember that He has His sovereign hand over all of them, we can find peace. Peace in uncertainty. Peace in disappointment. Peace in the waiting room. Peace in everything. What areas do you need to give over to Him today? Take a breath, let it out. Cast your burdens on Him (1 Peter 5:7). Be at peace.
“I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid." John 14:27
Journey on!
