Reading - Psalm 55-57
Reflection Text - Psalm 55
What do you do when you're anxious, stressed or worried?
I remember when we were traveling abroad through an airport without many modern conveniences I spent the entire night before NOT sleeping because of anxiety over whether or not this airport could meet our needs. I read, I watched TV, I counted sheep, nothing worked.
This verse came to me that night (and has sustained me on any trip) and I began to pray it.
"Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken...As for me, I trust in you."
I realized that I would still be anxious and worried but that I was limiting God from experiencing my "CARES" with me. I was keeping God out of that area of my life because I thought it was petty or I thought I should be beyond that. The reality was that God wanted to sustain me and it came when I cast (read, LET GO OF) my burdens into His lap.
What do you do when you're stressed?
