Day 26: Stay Close

It can be so easy to stress and worry about everything life has to throw at us, can’t it? Work, finances, family, relationships. There can often be many things whirring around our minds at any one time. The Bible has quite a bit to say about worry. One of my favourite examples is found in Matthew, chapter six.

“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?” (Matthew 6:25 NIV)

This verse, unsupported by the surrounding text could still leave us feeling a little unsure about what we can do instead of worrying. Thankfully one of the final verses of the chapter gives us a clue.

“But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33 NIV)

When we feel prone to worrying about a situation or stressing out over something, let’s first go to God and his glorious throne of grace. May we cast all of our care and worry onto him because he truly cares for us. Let’s seek God’s opinion and God’s thoughts on what’s bothering us before we react badly. Go to God today with all that might be weighing you down. Trust that He is able to carry it as you seek Him.
