Stress is a burden you don't have to shoulder

If you were to add up all the minutes and hours that you spent worrying about something that never came to pass, how many days of your life do you think you would get back?
Including the moments where you busied your hands because the worry laid so thickly upon your heart, you felt as though you were going to explode. And what about the experiences that you walked through half-glazed because your physical presence was there but your mind, heart, and soul were completely elsewhere? Technically, present but consumed from the inside out.

Let me ask you this—when we make up these hypothetical situations or outcomes, are we taking into consideration the truth that the Almighty God will have prepared us, walk with us, and protect us from behind? Do we predict using our capacity as the gauge or His unlimited capacity? In all our worry—is our supply the source or is His well the safety net?
You see, the enemy only has one move when it comes to the future—it’s to get you to worry about it, focusing on all you don’t control. He isn’t omnipotent, omniscient, or omnipresent. He can only be in one tiny, minute place at a time and He has no stake over time or claim over what promises come to pass. His goal is to make you obsess over what hasn’t happened so you don’t see + enjoy what actually is.

But the Good Shepherd? The King of Kings who actually holds time + is the author of your life? He IS omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. He is everywhere, always. He made time—it answers to Him. He fulfills His Word in every season. His hope is that you would be so anchored in His character that you would stay in the present, fully knowing He is trustworthy with your future.

Today, do all you must to stay in this timeframe. Your worry has never been a healing agent—only a time sucker who forgets the sovereign goodness of the Master Planner.
What if you actually believed that God was handling everything that weighs on your mind?
He is 🤍 use your creativity for wonder and your energy for loving & let worry fall away as you cling to His Word.
