Just a simple thought for today to keep me grounded.

When I let stress overtake me…

When I let anxiety fill me…

When I let the swirl of life’s obstacles knock me off balance…

When I spend precious time worrying about God’s plan and His sovereignty…

When I start clutching to what I hold “valuable” in fear…

It’s like digging my fists into the ground and hanging on for dear life, just because the Earth is spinning on its axis. That’s how silly it is when I lack faith. That slow, insignificant movement of the world on its axis feels like being stuffed in a washing machine during the spin cycle.

The trivial burdens of life start to feel like mass chaos. Insurmountable. Overpowering. Because I’m placing the burden on myself, and not God.

Note to self: Slow it down. Breathe. And focus on God’s promises. Let Him worry about His plans.
