Before you go to sleep tonight, I want to encourage the person who’s been carrying the weight of worry.
And I’ll be transparent with you…
I’ve found myself wrestling with this personally.
Worrying about things I can’t control. Thinking about situations that haven’t even happened. Trying to figure out answers to problems that only God can solve.
And I’ve had to remind myself of something:
Worry doesn’t change tomorrow. It just steals the peace God wants you to have today.
Jesus said in Matthew 6:34 (CSB):
“Therefore don’t worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
Isn’t it amazing how we can trust God with our eternity but struggle to trust Him with our tomorrow?
We believe He’s powerful enough to save our souls, yet sometimes question whether He’s able to handle our circumstances.
But listen to what Paul tells us in Philippians 4:6–7:
“Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”
And he goes on to remind us that the peace of God will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Notice something…
God never told us to figure everything out. He told us to bring everything to Him.
David had to encourage himself in the Lord.
Peter had to keep his eyes on Jesus when the wind and waves were raging.
And even Elijah, after witnessing an incredible victory on Mount Carmel, found himself overwhelmed and afraid.
So if you’ve been battling worry, you’re not alone.
But you don’t have to let worry have the final word.
Romans 8:28 reminds us that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.
That doesn’t mean everything that happens is good.
It means God is good, even when what we’re walking through isn’t.
So here’s something I want you to try.
Whenever you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or your mind starts racing with all the what-ifs, stop and repeat this THREE TIMES OUT LOUD:
“God is good, and He is working it for the good.”
Say it again.
“God is good, and He is working it for the good.”
One more time.
“God is good, and He is working it for the good.”
Not because repeating words magically changes your circumstances, but because sometimes you have to remind your mind of what your spirit knows to be true.
God has been faithful before.
He’s made ways before.
He’s provided before.
He’s carried you through things you never thought you’d survive.
And the same God who was faithful yesterday will still be faithful tomorrow.
So tonight, give yourself permission to rest.
You don’t have to solve everything before you go to sleep.
You don’t have to know how everything is going to work out.
And you don’t have to carry tomorrow’s burdens with today’s strength.
Go to sleep knowing that while you’re resting, God is still working.
Don’t let worry rob you of the peace Jesus died to give you.
God is good.
And somehow, someway…
He’s going to work it for the good.
