Written by Fear has a way of making tomorrow feel more real than today. But you were never meant to live inside a future that hasn’t happened yet, you were called to trust the God who is already there.
Bible Verse:
“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God.” Isaiah 41:10
Fear can consume your attention. It can be a never ending process that can devour our entire life and time.
- What if I fail?
- What if I don’t get into college?
- What if I never find the right person?
- What if people reject me?
- What if something happens to my family?
- What if I don’t know what I’m supposed to do with my life?
Those questions that at times can be put on a loop can become a constant soundtrack in your mind.
This can allow you to become so focused on what might happen that you miss what God is doing right now. God doesn’t promise that everything will always go according to your plans. However, He repeatedly promises that He will be with you. Isaiah did not say, “Don’t be afraid because nothing bad will ever happen.” He told us to “Fear not; for I am with thee.”
The solution to fear isn’t always knowing what tomorrow might hold. Sometimes the best answer is understanding and knowing Who holds tomorrow. We do not have to figure out our entire lives today. We don’t have to know every detail of our future. We just need to take the next step God gives us. Trust Him with the steps you are unsure of cannot see.
Thought to Ponder:
How much of my attention is being consumed by something that hasn’t even happened?
Journaling Prompt:
Write down your biggest fear about the future. Underneath it, write:
“God, I don’t know what will happen, but I know You will be with me.”
Then write one step of faith you can take today.
Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, I give You my fears, doubts and apprehensions about tomorrow. Help me stop focusing and living in an imaginary future and start trusting You with what is going on today. Even when I don’t know what is coming, remind me that You already do and have prepared every step. Give me bravery, courage, and holy tenacity to take the next step and the unwavering faith to trust You with the rest. In Jesus Name Amen.
