Day 28---God's not a worrier.

“One afternoon I had just come home from baseball tryouts and I was kinda nervous. I didn't know if I was going to make the team or not or anything like that and so I was a little stressed and on edge. So I get home after the tryouts and I decide to listen to some music to kinda get my mind off of things and not kill myself from the anxiety. I put on my Taylor Swift album cause I wanted to get in a better mood and felt t-swizzle always helps me in moments like this. So I'm jamming out to 22 when all of the sudden in the middle of the song it changes to Lift Me Up by The Afters (which if you haven't listened to that song…do it, it's amazing) and I just got this sense of aura around me and felt God telling me that there was no need to worry. He had my back and was going to carry me through my tryouts and the stress that came with it all. I just needed to rely on him and not worry.” –Kelton M.

God’s not a worrier and neither should you be.   

Yeah.  Easier said than done, right?  But that’s what following God’s will for your life is all about.  Leaning on Him even when you don’t know the outcome. 

“Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?”  Matthew 6:27

Try to think of it this way.  God is a productive God.  All the time His will is working in your heart, it is working for good.  Worrying is like stepping in gum.  It gets in the way of the good.  It slows things down and mucks things up.

It takes practice not to worry and it’s not always easy to let it go.  But when you give your life to Christ He wants ALL of it. 

I’ll bet Taylor Swift doesn’t worry about anything….

Read Matthew 6:25-34.  Is there something you’ve been worried about that you need to hand over to God?  Pray about that today.  Whatever it is, He can handle it.
