I was in the car today and my mind was going (okay, worrying) two hundred different directions--all of it over one particular situation our family is dealing with right now.
You ever had one of those situations where you keep saying, "God, I don't understand!"? Your mind turns, and twists, and stresses. I'm sure you all can relate!
So there I am on the freeway, stressing, and I look up and the car in front of me has a big bumper sticker: Prayer changes things! It was like God was saying, "Hello!?" Haha.
I immediately set to praying and it was such a relief. I didn't get any immediate answers to my concerns, but I did feel better. I don't know how my prayers are changing things. I may never know till I get to heaven. But that's okay. I don't have to know because I know the One who does! He loves me and the one I'm concerned about more than I'll probably ever understand. I'm so thankful I can pour out all that concern to Jesus!
And so if I have one thing to encourage you with this week, it is this.
(1 Peter 5:7) Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
