God’s Word Over Life’s StressSample

God Is in Control

Stress often convinces us that everything depends on us. We act like the whole world rests on our shoulders. But the truth is: God is in control. He fights for us, He goes with us, and He promises never to leave us.

“God never hurries. There are no deadlines against which He must work. Only to know this is to quiet our spirits and relax our nerves.”

- A.W. Tozer,

Whenever I try to “power through” stress on my own, I usually end up drained and frustrated. But when I pause to remember that God is sovereign and nothing surprises Him, I find fresh strength and courage. If God is for you, who can be against you?

Respond to God’s Word:

Spend 5 minutes in silent prayer, repeating Exodus 14:14: “The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.”
