Today let’s take a few moments to breathe deeply, sit back and meditate on Psalm 61 and 62.

When I'm the most tangled up inside my thoughts, my worries and my obsession over things I can’t change is when I need to decide I’m going to trust God no matter what is going on inside my mind. 

I just really need to trust Him ... That’s what it comes down to. 

So today I’m going to do that. Let’s take a few minutes to read some Scripture to solidify that trust in Jesus, our Savior and our sovereign God… 

I have this habit of mentally jumping too far into the future, and then deciding I’m going to be afraid of it. Of whatever might be there waiting for me. I fear that a new problem or crisis will come crashing into my life, or more commonly, what current hard thing will be so much worse by then?

I fear sickness, loss, disease, rejection and deep disappointment. But what’s worse is that I fully believe I’m right and validated in my fear … and I can sometimes leave God completely out of the scenario. Because when God is considered, and His great and surprising works are factored in along with his omniscience and goodness, we can be so very wrong.

If you get stuck in cycles of being so very afraid of the future, this short episode is for you.
