In this life we will have things that go wrong. There will be trials and challenges, and we simply must face them in the strength of the Lord. Many times we can desire to be in faith but our mind is giving us fits. Worry can overshadow everything and it can serve to blow things out of proportion and weaken our faith, not to mention what it can do to our physical body.
I loved how the Good News Translation brings to life the simple truth of walking away from worry and cares.
1 Peter 5:7 Good News Translation
“Leave all your worries with him, because he cares for you.”
When things go wrong with your car, you make an appointment to have it fixed. You LEAVE it at the auto repair shop and it will be fixed. If you need an article of clothing dry cleaned because it is soiled you take it to the dry cleaner and you LEAVE it for them to clean it for you. So it is when things go wrong in our life we can take our problems and worries and LEAVE them with the Lord. We can be assured that He will lovingly walk you through that which troubles your heart. As we understand that there is not one thing too big for our God, we can ask Him to help us. As we release our faith for a problem to be solved, we can LEAVE that problem with Him because He cares for us.
I encourage you today that if you have something that needs fixed, you have need of wisdom, whatever it may be….take your request to Him. Make a decision to not worry and LEAVE it with the Master. He cares for you more than you will ever be able to comprehend.
