Listen to the Word

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.  (1 Peter 5:6-7)

Peter calls our attention to God’s mighty hand. Trusting God’s might is a crucial step in letting go of your worry. If God is not mighty, then you have reason to be nervous. If God is watching you wrestle with life and helplessly wringing his hands, wishing he could do something for you, then you might as well stock up on the antacids and learn to live with the migraines. But if God is mighty enough to ignite the sun, do you think there might be an outside chance he’s strong enough to light your path? God is big enough to handle the things you are worried about.

Live the Word

Take a moment to do an honest evaluation of your situation. Compare the strength of the things you are struggling with to the strength of God. Ask God to give you confidence in his might.
