Taxes go up. Job growth goes down. The need for health care goes up. How do we focus on the positive and be faithful in these times while still learning to navigate these scary waters?
I am humbled by one line of scripture. It is in a constant loop in my head all day long, "Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth" Psalm 46:10.
It's not necessarily about making oneself feel better, it's about truly embracing that God is bigger than everything we see and touch on a daily basis. Be faithful in your work and with your loved ones and friends. Lean not on your own understanding, but on God. He will ultimately guide your path if you let Him. I find that sometime just giving over that control (that mental worry that we often confuse as control) is what God needs from us. Let Him speak to you without questioning it and you will see that path laid out before you. It may not be the path that is neat and clean. It may be the path less traveled, but it is where He needs you to be. Know also that your friends and family are praying for you and lifting you up everyday. Be still and listen this day.
God Bless,
