Monday's Verse of the Day Devotional

Good morning! Worry and anxiety comes from a lack of trust and a desire for control. When you can't control something, it makes you very nervous. When you don't trust God with your situation, you get anxious. See a pattern here?

When you don't trust in God, you choose to trust in self. That's why you're worried because no matter how good you are, there are some things you simply cannot control. But, there is nothing outside of God's control or ability to handle.

So, put your trust in Him completely. Then, pray about everything and be detailed about it with Him. Be thankful as you pray because the burden is no longer on you, but on Him. When you give it to Him, the burden is lifted and peace comes.

Not just any peace, but His peace that goes beyond comprehension. This peace is from Him and it will guard your heart and mind in Christ. Let go of control today. Give it all to Jesus. Let His peace rule your heart and mind so that you can be free of the burden of worry. Then, you can have the peace and strength to make a great day!
