When things in our life don’t go as planned, or if something we want doesn’t happen in our time schedule, we get easily worried. Worrying about our problems doesn’t solve our problems; in a lot of cases, it makes our problems worst. It’s natural for us to have concerns about life, but there’s a difference between concern and worry. Concern is when you’re cautious about something and carefully planned ahead, whereas worry is when you’re playing the “what-if” game in your head to the point where you can’t even think straight.
“So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.”
– Matthew 6:31-34
The Bible tells us not to worry because we serve a heavenly father who will take care of our needs. It doesn’t matter how difficult the situation may be God is still in control. Worrying about the future will only do more harm than good. Put God first above everything else and live according to His word so you may live a blessed life. Worrying about everyday life is what non-believers do, but because we are saved by grace, we’re under God’s protection. Even if we do get into trouble, God is right there on our side. The world relies on luck, but we as children of God have the assurance of God’s protection over our lives.
“Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? (As the Scriptures say, ‘For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.’) No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.”
– Romans 8:35-37
God’s love never stops. Our earthly troubles are just God’s shaping us into what He considers pure gold. We may not know what tomorrow may hold, but we know Who holds tomorrow. Our future is in God’s hands; if He has taken care of you in the past, why wouldn’t He do it now? Trust God, and concentrate on His goodness so you can have peace during a storm.
