In our day to day lives, we face many kind of pressures or stress because of work or people or issues that may crop up in our life. Sometimes these worries or stress can weary us down. And when we go to God in prayer, we pour out our heart complaining about the things that worry us so much. Sometimes we forget that God is in control, that He cares for us more than we believe Him to. When we fail to have a right perpective about God, our problem or stress looks bigger than our God. We go on complaining, worrying and speaking negative, rather than thanking Him that He is more concerned about us and will not allow anything to happen which we fear or worry.
Surely we will not expect anything negative or bad to happen to us. When we ourselves do not wish for a negative outcome, will the Lord allow such a thing? Unless we understand the true nature of our Savior, we will never be able to see by faith what He is has planned for us. And when we can't see by faith the solution for our stress or problem, the burden of that stress or problem will keep lingering in our hearts and minds.
Let us always bring to our heart who He is and what is able to do for us.
Isa 41:10 (NIV)
So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
We can take God at His Word, for He is sure to keep it. Amen.
