Stressed? Anxious? Trust in God

Today's Reading: Psalm 93

The LORD is king!  He is robed in majesty.  Indeed, the LORD is robed in majesty and armed with strength.  The world stands firm and cannnot be shaken.  Your throne, O LORD, has stood from time immemorial.  You yourself are from the everlasting past.  The floods have risen up, O LORD.  The floods have roared like thunder; the floods have lifted their pounding waves.  But mightier than the violent raging of the seas, mightier than the breakers on the shore--the LORD above is mightier than these!  Your royal laws cannot be changed.  Your reign, O LORD, is holy forever and ever.

     Continous praise of God from Psalm 92 and continues on through Psalm 97.  This psalm is one describing the Lord's might and his unchanging ways.  It serves as a reminder that unlike everything else in the world the Lord does not change ever. 
     In times of trouble, stress or worry, learning to trust in the Lord is important.  The word trust in greek means to believe in.  We are asked to believe the Lord can do what He says. John 14:1 says: "Don't let your hearts be troubled.  Trust in God, and trust also in me."  I know that not letting the worries, anxiety and stress of this world get the best of us is easier said than done but we are challenged to give all these things to God and know that He cares for us and wants better for us than to live in such strain on our minds and our very souls.  John 14:27 says: I am leaving you with a gift-peace of mind and heart.  And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give.  So don't be troubled or afraid.
    
     I wanted to share a video by Mark Brown that I watched last night after having a day full of anxiety and stress.  I can tell you it was a gift from God and I was able to rest after watching it and I hope and pray that if you are feeling the stress and strain of this world on your shoulders this video will give you a new outlook and lighten your load by knowing that God is there and will show you how to handle stress and anxiety in a world where we fight it every day.  God Bless.
