This is a good reminder for us! 

God can change your life, and a majority of the time, He's going to do it through those around you.

The Process

Wouldn’t it be nice if all we had to do was think happy thoughts and all of our worries would vanish?

Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way. If we want to live a life not orchestrated by worry, we have to learn how to pass along all of our concerns and difficulties to God.  God cares about you and your future. He will never leave you. It’s not as simple as thinking happy thoughts, but it is possible to let go of our concerns and difficulties. Letting go is a process. We have to begin to understand this.  Worry doesn’t go away just because we want it to.

It goes away through a process that takes active involvement. Part of the process is learning to take things at face value. When events unfold or God gives us a peek into our future we have a tendency to add to it or to take away from it. If God shows us that we are to get a new job and as we think of the possibilities we end up adding that it’s going to be a six-figure job.

Maybe, God calls us to be a teacher at a school with a bad reputation and we get scared and proceed on to work at a school we are comfortable at, taking away the bad reputation part. In the Old Testament God warned the Israelites that they were not to add to or take away from His law.  He knew what they needed and told them to take the laws at face value, not adding to or taking away. This is a great example for us when God speaks to us we are to take it at face value.

When we start focusing on the end results and the what-if’s it scares us and can even consume us. It can make our motives impure, causing us to run after the promise instead of the Promisor. Instead of focusing on the end results, we have to learn how to take one step at a time. When we focus on the next step we focus on God and what He is speaking and wanting instead of what we are wanting. With each step we trust that He is in control and that His strength is enough to get us through whatever lies ahead. He will show us the next step, and then the next, and then the next.  And that is how our trust in God grows.

What is God telling you in life right now? To rest? To start a ministry? To change jobs? Walk one step at a time towards God’s direction, being careful not to add to or take away from what He has told you.

It’s not what goes into your mouth that defiles you; you are defiled by the words that come out of your mouth.” 

 -Matthew 15:11

If you are struggling with trusting God hoping this will help!


The Root

At the root of worry, we find fear. In an effort to overcome that fear, we try to be brave, thinking that if we are brave, we can defeat it. Bravery doesn’t replace or take away the fear in our lives; it just masks and gives us enough strength to act. If we want to stop living with fear, we have to replace it with something else: safety. The opposite of being scared is being secure. We need to stop trying to be brave and start being secure in our Creator.

Being secure means we have the assurance and knowledge of being safe in Jesus’ arms. This assurance allows us to overcome fear. We gain this assurance as we grow in our relationship with Christ. As God becomes bigger in our lives, worry becomes smaller.  The elevation of God in our lives helps us line up our values and put all other fears in their place. Jesus is the only security that will keep us from fearing and worrying about the unseen. When we are secure in Christ, we don’t have to fear.  When we don’t fear, we don’t have to worry.

That worry and fear are now replaced with trust. Where fear separates, trust brings together. Where fear blurs, trust clarifies. Where fear disconnects us, trust re-engages us. No, everything won’t make sense, but it won’t have to.  We won’t have to try to make sense out of chaos, but, instead, we can trust that God is in it with us.  He will strengthen us and help us.  He will hold us in His hand. He is that good. You can be secure in that.  You can trust that.

Today, ask God to make you aware of the areas that you don’t find security in Christ.  As you become aware of these areas, begin to allow the Holy Spirit to help you find ways to defeat the fear and replace it with security and trust in God.

Nap Time With Mommy💤💤💤💤
