So this is what it feels like to be free of fear and worry. I’ve never known before. In the last week, I shared that I needed to trust God more and not worry and asked Him that it would happen immediately.
I can say with certainty God is faithful.
I thought that I needed to give Him worry as one prayer team friend did for Christmas some years ago.
On Thursday morning, I was reading something my pastor wrote and realized that I needed to speak to the mountain of worry. As I began, I spoke to the mountains of worry AND fear, said that, as I am a blood-bought child of the living God redeemed by Jesus’ sacrifice, they had no place in my life and to go. As I said the words, I had a vision of two huge mountains crumbling into dust and being blown away.
I believe I learned how to cast my cares once and for all, just as
1 Peter 5:7 says to do.
When I think of the challenges my older son and his wife are facing at the moment, I no longer have a rock in the pit of my stomach. I have peace. When I think of other family members, I have a certainty that God will work out all things together for their good.
When I consider the dream for a new relationship God has planted in my heart, I have hope.
When I think of the future, I know the Holy Spirit is able to speak to those who are decision makers, including me about my own life, and excitement fills me.
God is certainly faithful to me.
