Many times our emotions can take hold of our lives and fog our vision. Worry can sometimes overshadow us to where it can affect our functionality. Some situations arise where we are at an impasse. We do not know what to do or how to act. Our situation consumes thoughts. Many times our initial response is to worry. Our heart starts to race, our hands get sweaty, we can’t sleep, or we begin to pace. We cannot think about anything else.
As believers, we know that God can take care of anything. “That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear.

Let’s consciously surrender our worries to God every day. Ask Him to give us peace in that area of our life.
What are your worries? Have you given them over to God yet?
“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.” Isaiah 26:3 (NLT)
I really needed to be reminded of this.
