If you are anything like me, you may fear the unknown. I used to be in constant battle with not knowing what my future was. Where would I be in the next five years? Would I be happy? Would I be a mother?

Of course, those are all fair questions, but I truly worried about what things would be like.

I can’t say that I don’t still struggle with this from time to time because I do! How can you calm this fear, though? I found that this was not in my control and who am I to fear of something that I have no control over? Sure, I can go on and make my choices, but God already knows what choices I will make. I just need to trust him.

It is much easier said than done. How do you let go? How do you give God your anxieties?

It’s a constant reminder that he will make everything all okay. My reminder is my daily devotional that I read every morning. My reminder is the joyful Christian music I listen to every extra second I have in my day-to-day life. My reminder is the blessings God has given me. 

Take a step back and look at everything around you. Are you in your car? What a blessing to have transportation. Are you sitting on your porch? What a blessing to have some place to sit awhile and enjoy God’s creation. Are you sitting in a church pew? What a blessing to have a community of people that share a love for Christ, just as you do. 

Maybe things aren’t going so well. But even down in that valley, you will see the sun over the horizon. God is there.

It is easy to allow the burdens of this world to stir a fear inside of you. I can only tell you of things that help me in my times of need.

Whatever you are going through, just know you have a mighty God who is working all things for your good. We have so many choices we make every day.

 Take a moment to remember God has his hand over you and is with you wherever you may go. Trusting in God is the foundation for your Faith.

Next time you feel a spurt of anxiety or fear, lest there be reminders of the wonderful God who only wants the best for you.
