Are you overwhelmed about the future?
Have you thought through all the worst-case scenarios and let your mind take the spiralling road of being consumed with negative thoughts?
Are you caught up in all that you don’t know?
There’s great news! We have a choice!
We can be consumed with what we don’t know and sit in the anxiety of that mess. Or we choose to place our focus on what we do know!
For followers of Jesus, we do know that God is in control. While the world around us may appear to be in chaos, God still has the final say, and if we’re reading His Word then we can be steadfast in the hope that we have and find peace by seeking Him for direction. Since we know where our hope comes from, we can be confident that no one who trusts in Him will ever be disgraced. (ref. Psalm 25:3). So, let’s run to Him in every situation, stop those spiralling thoughts, and replace them with what will fill us with peace, hope, love, joy…. and so much more!
The LORD says, “For I hold you by your right hand – I, the Lord your God. And I say to you, ‘Don’t be afraid. I am here to help you.” - Isaiah 41:3
“Where does our help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of Heaven and Earth!” - Psalm 121:1-2
Let’s choose to be women who trust the One who holds the future. Let’s allow Him to take care of the consequences of our situation, and for us to do our part and allow Him to lead us. He is our Helper – let’s allow Him to help as He desires.
