Be calm, you are not alone

Worry is an old man with a bent head, carrying a load of feathers he thinks is lead.It is a simple fact of our human lives that every one of us will grapple with worry and concern over the trials and tribulations of our daily affairs. 

That is being human. And because it happens so often, daily at least, that we worry or concern ourselves about something, it means that daily, at least, we need to hand back these worries and concerns to God. Find a little quiet time in your busy day to tell God about your concerns, to ask God to take them from you - because worry comes from trying to handle things that are the concern of God - or ought to be. Remember that worry does not solve your issues for tomorrow, it removes your strength and resolve today. 

And isn't it just so, that often we worry about things that eventually turn out to be of no concern, inconsequential things, a load of feathers that we think are lead?

Someone once said "Nothing in the affairs of man is worthy of great anxiety." And that truly is so. Absolutely nothing is beyond the power of our God to handle, absolutely nothing is worthy of worry.

Billy Graham explained this very well:
"Worrying about what might happen makes even the smallest trouble seem huge. Nervously anticipating troubles that may never happen can crush our spirit. Instead of 'borrowing trouble' by constantly worrying about the future, listen instead to Jesus' promise: 

'Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.' John 14:27.
Whatever is worrying you right now, give it to Jesus and trust Him to take care of it. Let His peace replace your worry."

God understands this. God knows that you are human, with human frailties, and so when you are struggling with fear, worry, concern, anxiety, look to these words that He gave 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 right hand." Isaiah 41:10

Psalm 27:1

"The Lord is my light and my salvation - so why should I be afraid? The Lord protects me from danger - so why should I tremble?"

Be calm, you are not alone

You are loved! Beyond any measurement, beyond any human capacity, God LOVES you. Whatever your inner troubles, whatever your sin, you remain His child, and you are LOVED. When you are in pain, God is in pain, when you are in tears, God cries for you. He has shown this in the sacrificing of His own son, Jesus, who in his pain and suffering called out to his father, "Lord, if it is your will, take this cup of suffering away from me". Despite this, God still led His son to the cross, to be scourged and killed for you and I, so that we can be released from our own sin. God did this for US, in His great love for us, for you and I, and Jesus for the same reasons submitted himself to the will of his Father.

If you are a parent yourself you will know the incredible capacity for love we have for our children. How much greater then is God's love for you?

Never despair, you are loved!

Phil 2:1  
"His love comforts you"
