WORRY! THE ULTIMATE PROTECTION
AGAINST SINKING during life's storms is developing your friendship with Me,
JESUS. You waste a lot of time, however, worrying abort storms you can
see forming along the horizon of your life. In the past many of the
storms you had anticipated veered off in another direction, never reaching
you. Although some of them did actually hit, usually they had lost much
of their power by the time they got to you. I urge you to switch your
focus from difficulties that may come your way to My Presence, which is always
with you.
You will never find security by trying to anticipate all the storms that may reach you someday. Remember that I control the atmosphere of your life. Trust Me by relaxing and releasing your concerns into My capable care. It saddens Me to see you obsessing about possible problems rather than bringing these matters to Me. When you find yourself anxiously scanning the horizon of your life, use that as a reminder to seek My Face. You will not find Me off in the distance. I am here beside you, nearer than you dare believe.
Instead of wasting time worrying, devote that time to building close friendship with Me. Talk with Me about everything that concerns you - your pleasures as well as your problems. I am interested in everything that matters to you because I am your perpetual Lover. Ask Me to lift your perspective from a problem-focus to a Presence-focus.
Remember that I am holding you by your right hand. I guide you with My own counsel, based on eternal wisdom so there's no need to worry about the future. When the time comes, I will personally take you into Glory. For now, though, remain near Me. My friendship is your best refuge in the storms of life.

Nevertheless I am continually with You;You have taken hold of my right hand.You will guide me with Your counselAnd afterward receive me to honor and glory.Psalm 73:23-24 Amplified Bible (AMP)But as for me, it is good for me to draw near to God;I have made the Lord God my refuge and placed my trust in Him,That I may tell of all Your works. Psalm 73:28 Amplified Bible (AMP)
