Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
I Peter 5:7
This is a stressful time. Whether your stress is related to the economy or rooted in personal events in your life, God tells us that He is capable of taking care of our anxieties and our selves. It is important for us to cast our anxieties on the Lord so that we do not exercise that stress on our families.
Take some time today to get away by yourself in order to "Be still, and know that [He] is God" (Psalm 46:10). It is in meditating (reflecting) on the greatness of God, how big and capable He is, that we are able to gain perspective on our circumstances. Pray that the Lord will give you grace through His Holy Spirit at work in you to long for His glory above all else. Pour out your heart to Him, and ask Him to take those anxieties away from you. As Jesus Himself said in Matthew 11:28-30, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
