Everything Everywhereናሙና

Being a high school student is hard and often busy. Whether you are on a sports team, a member of a club, in a theater program, working a job, or dedicated to your studies, it feels like you are running from one thing to the next. At least for me, it does. When I’m running from one thing to the next, I typically get stressed and worried over the little things. I get so overwhelmed trying to do it all on my own.

But what if I told you this isn’t how we were made to live; we don’t have to live weighed down by the stress life throws at us. This chapter of Psalms is written as an anthem of worship to God for God’s people, encouraging them to remember when they are walking through a scary, dark season of life, God is right beside them. We can use this anthem to help us choose to not be stuck in fear because we know God will protect and comfort us as we walk through the trials in life.

God is beside us in all of our situations. When you feel stressed and worried, remember, “Even when I walk through taking a test in second period, picking a college, or running in a track meet today, I will choose to see God in all of my situations and remind myself of God’s comfort and protection.” Today, remind yourself that God will keep you safe in seasons of worry and stress.
