We know this verse by heart. We’ve probably quoted it to someone else going through a hard time. But there’s a difference between knowing it and actually letting it settle in your heart. Actually putting down the things we’ve been stressed over and saying okay, I can’t fix this, but Jehovah can.
The money struggles. The health scares. Watching the world feel more unstable every year. It can be stressful for anyone!
We know we were made for paradise earth. That’s what Jehovah purposed for us, not this. None of this is what we were ever meant to endure. We know that.
But our anxieties can still get the better of us sometimes, and that’s not a failure of faith. It just means we have to keep coming back to what we know is true. Keep it in the forefront. Don’t let go and refortify ourselves.
Jehovah’s got us. He always has. He’s with you and it’s important to trust that. (Matthew 6:34)
