DAY 85:

“Worrying Distracts You from the Rest Your Soul Needs!

“Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? (Matthew 6:27).

I have been in ministry for over 30 years. Sadly, I see some of the same people that worried years ago, still worrying today. Friends, I’m not saying you should not be aware, or that you should not watch, or take things to God in prayer.. You most certainly should! When you do, you should have confidence in Him and know that apart from God you can do absolutely nothing. You can’t change your situations, circumstances, people around you, your boss, your kids, your pastor, or your spouse… no matter how much you worrying you do!

I have seen people over the years try to fix everything and change people, only to end up worn out, depleted, and often times alone. Remember, God is not in worrying, that’s why it gets you nowhere!! He never planned for you to take on more than you can bear. In fact, He tells you to cast your burdens on Him, because He cares for you. He encourages you to take His yoke, because it is easy and His burden is light.

“Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light,” (Matthew 11:29).

Jesus is in the midst of you right now and He is inviting you to find rest in your present situation and for each day. I know some of you are facing insurmountable circumstances that seem impossible for you to come out of, but the truth is, what is impossible with man… IS POSSIBLE WITH GOD! Take your worry and your burden and exchange it for Jesus’ yoke and burden, so you can find rest today!!

With God, all things are possible! Not only can He calm you and give you rest in the middle of all life’s storms, He can stop them and give you peace that passes your understanding..!”
