Each day seems to bring a new set or problems.  There is always something that causes us to be stressed.  You can be rocking along and everything is just fine, and then, boom! out of nowhere, the bombshell explodes.  But, do not fear.

We have our lives all planned out but it doesn’t always work out that way.  In fact, it very rarely does.  You know, “The best laid plans of mice and men, etc.”  Most of the time there are just circumstances beyond our control. James tells us that we should not boast about tomorrow because we don’t know the future.  But, we do know the present and the promises of the future.

Jesus tells us He will be with us until the end of the age.  No matter what is going on around you, God is on His throne and in control of our lives.  Jesus tells us that He wants us to have life and have it abundantly.

Isaiah 41:10 tells us “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.  I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous hand.”  Can you imagine God upholding you with His own righteous right hand?  That is just what he promises to do.

So, why are we so stressed?  We allow Satan to deceive us.  He is the father of all lies.  He knows your weaknesses and will prey upon them.

Place your trust in Him.  Spend time with Him baring your heart and your innermost desires.  Remember His promises. He is waiting for us to call upon Him.  He is all powerful and will make things right.  He loves you and wants the best for you.  Be not dismayed, for I am your God.

Praise God!
