The Overthinker's DevotionalSample

BE PROUD OF WHAT THE LORD HAS DONE

Sometimes the root cause of overthinking and anxiety is pride. We worry too much about appearing like we never mess up or make mistakes. Or we feel pressure to look perfect and wear the latest fashions or name brands and have the most updated homes. Or we feel like we need to keep up and be the best—or at least better than those around us—in our work and other activities. God’s Word tells us many times that pride is a sin that can get us into lots of trouble. The only area where we should be proud about anything is being proud of what God does. He is the one we should point others to as perfect, certainly not ourselves. No person is perfect, and when we can be humble and honestly admit our mistakes and weaknesses and the ways we don’t measure up, we sincerely help show others the need for everyone to have faith in our perfect Savior Jesus Christ.

Prayer: Father God, help me get rid of self-pride. I want to be proud of You, and You alone. Help me to see how every good thing I ever do ultimately comes from You! Help me to show others both my need and their need for Jesus. Amen.
