I remember a time when my husband was between jobs, and the money was slowly dwindling. I was trying my best to stay positive, but deep down, I was anxious. The more I thought about our situation, the heavier it felt.
Then, in a quiet moment, I felt God whisper: "If you knew everything was going to be alright because I’m working on this, how would you be right now?"
That one question shifted everything. If I really believed that God had already made a way, and that He really loved and cared for me, why was I worrying? Why was I carrying a weight that He had already promised to lift?
God Has It All Under Control
I felt God ask me the same question when our family had just moved interstate and my car was in an accident and written off. As I prayed, I felt that same quiet reassurance:
"Everything’s alright."
There’s something about hearing those words from God that changes everything. Instead of feeling anxious or overwhelmed, peace suddenly comes into your heart and mind. Because if God says everything’s alright, then it really is.
How Would You Live If You Truly Believed?
When we take on the attitude that everything’s alright, it shifts our whole perspective.
Instead of just surviving, we can wake up and smile at our day. Instead of getting caught up in stress and fear, we can choose to trust that God is working in every single detail—even the ones we don’t understand.
God promises:
“If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31)
“Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future… nothing in all creation can separate us from the love of God.” (Romans 8:38-39)
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11)
You are not alone. You don’t have to figure everything out. God already has a plan, and He is working all things together for your good.
Walking in Peace Today
Maybe today you’re facing a situation that feels uncertain. Maybe things aren’t going the way you planned, and you don’t see a way through.
But what if you chose to focus on Jesus and His love for you. What if you knew —really knew that everything was already taken care of and that Jesus had every part of your life in his very capable hands?
How would you live today if you believed that Jesus was already holding the answer?
Would you stop stressing? Would you start smiling? Would you take a deep breath and enjoy the moments instead of rushing past them?
You may hit a few potholes along the way. You may even get a few bumps and bruises. But you will be okay. Because Jesus is for you, with you, and Heaven is cheering you on.
So today, I encourage you; rather than stressing or being anxious and afraid, choose to trust and focus on Jesus and His love for you. He is the Good Shepherd and He's got you. And He says, "Everything’s alright".
Prayer:
Lord, thank You that You are with me, and because of that, I don’t need to worry. Please help me to let go of fear and trust You completely. Fill my heart with peace so I can walk through my day with joy, knowing You’ve already made a way. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
