Are you a worrier? If so, I can definitely relate. Sometimes I think I’ve made significant progress and I’d swear I’m worrying less and then something happens in my life that has me questioning everything or someone shares news that is overflowing with uncertainty and I’m right back to where I started with worry attempting to drowned out my faith. 

When I read that worry is believing that God won’t get it right I thought, wow, I’ve never looked at worry quite like that. If worrying is believing God won’t get it right that also means that worry is believing that God will get it wrong.  And if faith is confidence that God is who he says he is and that he will do everything he’s promised to do, well then, worry and faith don’t belong together, do they? In other words, they’re not a good match. And there’s not enough room in our minds for both worry and faith. So the question is, which will we choose? As someone whose chosen worry over faith too many times to count, I want you to know that it’s not too late. Yes, it’s a process. And it doesn’t look perfect. A few steps forward, a few steps back. But there’s so much grace. And so many opportunities to stretch our faith and get to know God better.  

God, grow our faith to a point where worry has no room to slip in and attempt to take roots. May we continue to seek you and rely on your promises, believing without a shadow of a doubt that you are in control. Remind us that we don’t need to worry because we can trust you in any situation we encounter. You always get it right. Every. Single. Time.
