What a great trade: we give God our worry, and He gives us His peace
You + The Church: Helen Simmons, Spirit Song Christian Community.
Did you know that God wants to make a trade with you?
He has a standing offer every minute of every day, and it's amazing how few of us actually take Him up on it.
He wants you to give Him all your cares, problems and failures.
In return He'll give you His peace and joy.
On top of that, He promises to protect and take care of you.
God really does want to take care of us, but in order to let Him, we've got to stop trying to take care of ourselves and worrying about every little thing we can't control.
Many people would like for God to take care of them, but they insist on worrying or trying to figure out an answer on their own, instead of waiting for God's direction.
They wallow around in their own worry, wondering why God doesn't give them peace.
God will give us peace, but we must first give Him our worries.
We give God our worries by trusting that He can and will take care of us.
By trusting God, we're able to rest in Him, knowing that He has the situation well under control.
Worry, on the other hand, is the opposite of trust.
Worry steals our peace, If we're worrying, we're not fully trusting God, and we'll never be able to experience His peace.
What a great trade! We give God our worry, and He gives us His peace.
We give Him all our cares and concerns, and He gives us the answer, He gives us His protection, stability and joy.
That's the privilege of being cared for by Him.
