Devotional: Day 2258

Greetings,

At times, the challenges of life can cause us much stress and concern. We can become overwhelmed with anxiety. That’s how the psalmist felt: 

Psalm 94:19 (NKJV) – “In the multitude of my anxieties within me, Your comforts delight my soul.”

With all the stress created by health, family, and financial issues, the enemy tries to convince us that we’ll never overcome the problems we face. He sets us up to take advantage of every situation we encounter by painting a picture of gloom and impending disaster. 

That’s how he causes a simple ‘concern’ to become worry; then turn worry into stress, followed by fear and then depression. But it doesn’t have to be that way! If you’ll just relax and trust God, all of the stress you face and the anxiety that grips you can be transformed into joy, peace, and comfort! 

Father, I thank You for the comfort I’ve found in You. I am grateful for the wonderful peace that floods my heart when I need it the most. I am glad that You care for every detail of my life and that I never need to worry, because You hold my future in Your capable hands. You are so good! 

Today, I’m worshiping with Andrew Holt and “Seated on High.”

We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!

Pastor
