All the burdens, stress, worries—release that weight. Let Him be God. You’ll see Him carry you through things that you never thought you could get through. He’ll carry you further than you ever dreamed you could go.
God has never failed you in the past, and He’s not going to start now. All that worry is doing is causing you to be uptight, not sleep well, run your immune system down. It’s time to serve worry an eviction notice. Let peace in. Let trust in. Let faith in.
People may do you wrong, but there will be a day when they’re down, and you’re up. Your kindness, your mercy, your being good to them when you had every right to push them down-that's being the bigger person. That's showing them how to live a life of character, honor, and integrity.
Paul said in 2 Timothy, “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love and of a sound mind.” A sound mind is a positive mind, a hopeful mind. It’s a mind that’s at peace, a mind that knows God is in control, that He’s ordering your steps.
Trust God when you don’t understand. He opens doors and He closes doors. It won’t always make sense. You’ll be tempted to hold on, “Why did this happen? It’s not fair.” Let it go. Trust that He has your best interest at heart.
You’re not supposed to fight every battle. If you let your emotions rule and you get upset, then you’re doing it in your own strength. There’s no grace for it. But if you’ll start inquiring of the Lord, “God, what do You want me to do? God, I need Your wisdom, Your strength, Your power.” When you show your dependency on God, He knows you’re relying on Him, then He’ll help you fight those battles. He’ll empower you to defeat giants, to break addictions, to overcome what should have stopped you.
Get a new perspective. You’re not limited by who raised you. You’re not at a disadvantage. You are about to see the greatness in you come out. Get ready, you’re about to defy the odds.
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for Your love and mercy. Guide me today, give me strength, wisdom, and peace. Help me trust You in every situation and walk in Your ways. In Jesus’ name, Amen. 🙏
