Finding Peace in Uncertain Times
Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed by anxiety? It’s a heavy burden to carry, but what if you could shift that weight onto someone else’s shoulders? One creative individual tried just that, hiring a professional worrier to take on his concerns for a staggering $200,000 a year. But when the new employee asked how he’d fund such a lavish salary, the response was telling: “That’s your worry!”
The Unfarmable Task of Worrying
Worrying is a unique problem – one that can’t be outsourced or delegated. But that doesn’t mean you’re doomed to carry its weight alone. The Bible offers a powerful alternative. In Psalm 23:2, David writes, “He leads me beside the still waters.” Notice the pronoun: “He leads me.” God isn’t pushing from behind; He’s guiding from ahead.
A Leader Who Cares
God’s leadership is characterized by gentle guidance, not frantic direction. He reveals what we need to know when we need to know it. As Hebrews 4:16 promises, “We will find grace to help us when we need it!” This assurance brings a profound sense of peace. We can trust that God will do the right thing at the right time.
Trusting in God’s Timing
When we surrender our worries to God, we discover a freedom that’s hard to put into words. It’s the knowledge that our Heavenly Father is working everything out for our good, even when the road ahead seems uncertain. So, take a deep breath and let go of your anxiety. Remember, God leads us – and He’ll do the right thing at the right time.
