Sometimes life throws you curve balls. You may not have any idea what the future holds. You may not even know where to begin right away. Being anxious does nothing to help with this. It takes things out of perspective and takes you away from where you should be going. Over thinking can be a bad thing.

This is something that I have worked through a lot lately. There have been unknowns with work, personal life, future – you name it, there has likely been an unknown in that area lately for me. I don’t know where things are going to be going. There are things that felt like they were going to be good, but turned out not so good. There are areas where it seems like everything is in a fog. It is easy for this to make things unsettled for people, but it doesn’t have to paralyze you and I am trying to not let it paralyze me.

What this season is teaching me is increased trust and faith in God. We know we have a loving and caring God who will provide in His timing, not ours. It takes faith and trust go let go our how we want to control our live and let Him take control and to not worry and be anxious about what is going on.

“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
– Matthew 6:25-34

While this hasn’t been the easiest season for me, I am learning and growing through this.
