Have you ever been stressed? Whether it's about a new job, a move, or even an exam - it's not fun. Stress is toxic, not only for your health but also for your spirit.
I sometimes struggle with worrying. I know that God has me covered, but sometimes I get all freaked out about something and it's hard for me to rein in my mind. Guess what? We don't have to worry anymore!
Just like this wonderful lady in Proverbs 31, we can laugh at tomorrow.
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life..." (Matthew 6:25)
Pretty straightforward, right? Don't worry about life - it's such a waste of time. When you hear that voice that brings up the problems, you need to tell it to leave you alone. God's got your back.
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." (John 14:27)
Peace is such a good thing. It's yours for the taking - God has given it to you! Don't be afraid about anything!
"Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall." (Psalm 55:22)
As long as you walk in God's will, you won't have to worry about problems or trials. We live in a fallen world, and sometimes bad things do happen, but it should not be a constant lifestyle. Chances are, if you notice that bad things are always happening to you, you aren't living the right way. Read your Bible - His Word is the best medicine you could ask for!
God wants you to be set free from worry and anxiety. They aren't companions you want, trust me. You can break their hold on your life right now.
Pray this little prayer with me, would you?
Lord Jesus, I thank you for peace. I thank you that you have taken away worry and anxiety. I am not an anxious person anymore. I am not characterized by fear. I receive your love and your perfect peace, and I know that You hold my life in your hands. No longer will I let myself me lied to - you have me covered. Thank you so much for your love, Lord. I pray that as I go through my week you will strengthen me and help me walk in peace. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
You can write one of those verses on a sticky note and put it somewhere where you'll see it every day. Before you start your day, say it out loud and thank God for His peace. I'm working on it myself, but I can assure you that prayer most certainly helps!
You are blessed, sweet sister!
