Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time, casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:6–7 WEB.

I lay in bed, unable to sleep as another night passed by. I was so concerned about the next day that I couldn't seem to end the current one. Yet, when the following day arrived, everything took care of itself. Day after day, year after year, decade after decade, the pattern continues. Worry is for nothing, anxiety accomplishes nothing, and when the problem arrives, so will God's provision.

Stop striving to make something happen too soon or in your own strength. When the time comes, it will be unstoppable. It will be so easy that you will say, "How can it be?" I have worked at things so hard in my life that I became frustrated and gave up. Then, I watched it come to pass without lifting a finger to help. Even my "giving up" didn't stop God's promises from coming to pass in my life. It's He who is faithful, not me.

Relax. Stop striving, worrying, and being so anxious about the future. Submit yourself to God. Put Him first in your priorities. Delight in the Lord, and all of these things will take care of themselves in the proper time. He cares for you, and He gave you the dream you carry inside. So relax. Take it one step at a time. Love Him and let Him bring it to pass.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I wait on You today. I know you haven't forgotten me, and I trust that You will take care of tomorrow when it comes. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!
