Everything Everywhereনমুনা

Sometimes, we think feeling stressed means there’s something wrong with us. But what if it means we’re just… alive? Jesus promised we will have trouble in this world. He did. And we will too. But part of what allows us to “take heart” as this verse says, or have hope and courage amid stressful circumstances, is the reality of what Jesus promised: He has overcome the world. Meaning all of the stress and trouble and anxiety we face doesn’t get the last word. Jesus does.

Today, write down one promise Jesus has made about your future (if you have to use Google, that’s okay!). This perspective can make what we’re carrying today just a little lighter.
