Relax

Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time He may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you. 1 Peter 5:6–7 ESV

Laying in bed and unable to sleep, another night passed by. So concerned about the next day, that I could not seem to end the current one. Yet when the following day arrived, everything took care of itself. Day after day, year after year, decade after decade, the pattern continues. Worry is for nothing, anxiety accomplishes nothing, and when the problem arrives, so does God’s provision. Stop striving to make something happen too soon, or in your own strength. When the time comes, it will be unstoppable and so easy that you will say “How can it be?” I have worked at things so hard in my life that I became frustrated and gave up, then watched it come to pass without my lifting a finger to help. Even my “giving up” did not stop God’s promises from coming to pass in my life. It is He that is faithful, not I. Relax, stop striving, stop worrying and being so anxious about the future. Submit yourself to God, put Him first, delight in the Lord and all of these things will take care of themselves in the proper time. He cares for you and He gave you the dream that you carry inside. Relax, take it one step at a time. Love Him and let Him bring it to pass.
