Casting all your anxieties upon Him, because He cares for you.
I Peter 5:7
Do you remember how we talked about giving your stressful circumstances to Jesus? How we mentally tucked that problem and all the stray ends into a box and wrapped it carefully, sealed it, and tied it securely with super strong nylon cords? Then, we watched from outside with our eyes closed, while inside we met Jesus, gave Him the box, and then watched Him walk away with our "problem" tucked under His arm.
This note came:
What a blessed release, relief, it is to be able to take my problem-whatever it is-my struggle, my pain, my fear-to wrap it up in a box and tie it tightly inside so it can't ever get "out" again, and hand it over to Jesus. But, Anabel, I don't see Him walking away with it, because He never, never, never walks away from me. No. I see Him hanging on to my box and whenever I think about the problem again, I see Him right beside me with MY package still in HIS hands. I gladly leave it with Him. And He is strong enough to carry as many "packages" as I need to place in His hands
Praise be to almighty God who loves me-insignificant me? Hardly. I am very significant to Him-I've talked to Him about all of my problems-I love Him that much and He loves me that much.

About this Plan
Has your faith become more of a burden than a source of joy and rest? The Christian life is not difficult to live. It's impossible to live! God never intended for you to live it. Jesus Christ is the only one who who has ever successfully lived the Christian life, and His plan is to live it through you. We expend so much energy spinning our wheels, trying to live for God instead of allowing the Holy Spirit to live through us. In this deeply personal, encouraging devotional plan, Anabel Gillham comes alongside you to teach you how to allow Christ to express His overcoming life through you on a moment-by-moment basis. It will remind you of who you are in Christ. It will open the floodgates of God's grace, guiding you to experience true rest and freedom in the midst of the storms of life.
