I really feel bad for those that are stricken with fear. Fear is not of God. It is a false emotion that will only hurt you and distract you. 1 Peter 5:7 says to "Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you." What a powerful promise. Who else do you know would make such an offer? I can't think of one. But He will. He loves and wants you to leave all your cares and burdens with Him. Allow yourself to rest in Him. There is nothing that is currently happening in your life that is of any surprise to Him. He is already at tomorrow. When my husband thinks about owning our home sometimes he will say, "I didn't count the costs" and he gets down on himself. I always tell Him that God blessed us with this house. For He knew when we built it that our lives would change, our financial status would change. He has protected us and helped us with each and every need that has come up. And it is of no surprise to me that He has sustained us. He has given us the wisdom to handle matters that we are not familiar with. Therefore I do not worry. I cannot change yesterday, for it has passed. I place my trust of my future in His hands so I try to just enjoy today. With no angst, no fear, no doubt. Just pure joy and pure contentment. He loves you and wants you to leave all that you are holding on to at His feet and allow the Holy Spirit to work through your life. Enjoy this day the Lord has made. Let us be glad in it. :-)
1 Peter 5:7
