What are you worried about today?

God doesn’t promise you an easy life, but He does promise to be your help and support! He doesn’t want the weight of worry and stress to crush you.

It’s easy to name the heavy things that feel wrong in your life, but don’t stop there! God wants to give you peace as you thank Him—even in the midst of your worry, thank Him. Start to name the good things that God has given to you. Thank Him for all that He has done.

He brought you into a relationship with Himself. He gave you eternal life. He welcomes you into His presence. He gave His life for you. He loves you! He is working all things together for your good.

Philippians 4:6-7 says:

"Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all that he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus." [NLT]

Wow. What a passage!

God wants to give you peace so deep that it doesn’t even make sense. When you feel like you have no good ‘things’ in your life, remember—if you have Christ, you have everything you need.

When you pray, bring all your problems to God. Ask Him to carry your burdens. He’s the only One strong enough to bear the heaviness of life and give you true rest.

Jesus says in Matthew 11:

"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly." [Matthew 11:28-30 MSG]

Do you want to walk in step with the Lord and discover the depth of His kindness and compassion for you?

If there’s a weight in your life that you don’t want to carry any longer, give it to Him today. Let Him care for you. Receive His peace.

Let’s pray:

God, help us cultivate gratitude. Take the heavy burdens that weigh us down. Help us see how You care for us and bring peace in our stormy lives. We thank You, God, for who You are, all You’ve done, and all You’re doing in our lives even now. Amen.
