Worry

Give yourself fully to the adventure of today. Walk boldly along the path of Life, relying on your ever-present Companion. You have every reason to be confident, because My Presence accompanies you all the days of your life—and onward into eternity.

Do not give in to fear or worry, those robbers of abundant living. Trust Me enough to face problems as they come, rather than trying to anticipate them. Fix your eyes on Me, the Author and Perfecter of your faith, and many difficulties on the road ahead will vanish before you reach them. Whenever you start to feel afraid, remember that I am holding you by your right hand. Nothing can separate you from My Presence!

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. —Hebrews 12:2

“For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.” —Isaiah 41:13

This morning todays study really speaks to me. I think what God wants us to remember is that if we have something right now in our lives that we are worried about changing or causing problems in the future, we need to pray about it RIGHT NOW. Not only should we be praying to God about what is happening to us right now, but also what we are worried about for the future. God takes worry and squashes it. We do not need to have worry because God is always by our side. When we ask God to help us trust Him, we will feel the worry leave our body.

So today stop worrying about things that have yet to come. God will take care of them when they get here.
