We humans are too often given to stress that arise from wrong thinking.  One common misplaced thought is that everything getting “worked out” depends completely on us…like we have to “fix” whatever…or whoever…needs “fixing.”  Nothing could be further from the truth!  That responsibility is God’s…and only God’s.  We should humbly step aside, turn it over to Him, and let Him do His work.

 

Psalm 34:19

Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all.

 

Isaiah 41:13

“For I am the LORD your God, who upholds your right hand, Who says to you, ‘Do not fear, I will help you.”

 

Romans 8:28

And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.

 

“Fear arises when we imagine that everything depends on us.”  ~ Elisabeth Elliot

 

The Lord bless you and keep you…
