Peaceful Sleep

There is always something to fret about, isn’t there? Whether it’s health, finances, or relationships, there are many unknowns in life that can easily keep you worrying. What if you could trust completely that God would take care of you and your loved ones? How would that type of security impact your daily life? As you read God’s Word, let it be rooted deep within your heart. A steady reliance on the truth is a safeguard against worry. God is your rock, and he alone will sustain you.

There will be many unknowns in your life. There will be moments when it feels as though the rug has been pulled out from under you, and there is nothing you can do. In the moments you can’t control, you can trust. You can rest your soul, your mind, and your body in the hands of the one who has the power to sustain you. As your Maker, he knows everything about you. He knows exactly what you need at any moment of the day. He has what it takes to keep your heart beating and to provide for your every circumstance.

Part of trusting God to sustain you is releasing control over the details of your life. If your eyes are fixated on your own expectations, it’s easy to assume you are ill equipped for what you are trying to do. Instead, lean on God’s understanding and remember that he will give you what you need for the path he has you on. He does not ask you to follow him and then expect you to provide for yourself. You can trust that he is aware of your needs and that he has the ability to meet them.

Today, give glory to God for the way he has sustained you. Praise him for all he has done in your life and all he has yet to do. Each day you open your eyes is a gift from the one who made you. He offers you abundant peace and extravagant love as you follow him. Lean on his strength when you are weak and trust him with each step you take.
