It’s simple, really. God loves you very much.
He never wants you to feel worried about your future, about your kids, or about your circumstances. He wants you to trust Him with those things. He never wants you to be depressed or in despair. He wants you to take refuge in Him. He never wanted you to be alone; He traded the life of His most precious Son, and all the suffering He had to endure, just so you could have a relationship with Him every day on this earth . . . stretching into all of eternity. God has given us all good things and desires nothing more than for us to accept His gifts, run into His arms, and be His child. Quit letting your heart be troubled by what you see and hear, and let your heart be comforted by the words of our Father God.
There is no mistake you have made, no sin you have committed, that is more powerful than what Jesus did for you. There is no place that His love can’t find you. Depression, despair, and fear have no claim on your life. Worry, anxiety, and stress can’t exist in the presence of the peace left for you by our Lord and Savior. God is with you, He is for you, and He will help you through His Word. There is a freedom, a comfort, a hope, a strength, a healing, a security, and a quiet confidence that is obtained and maintained through the life-giving power of the Word of God. It rewrites the mistakes of your past with the successes of Jesus’ past. It places a new identity within you, puts a powerful force to work for you, and bestows blessings upon you. Dare to give in to the life-giving Word of God. Dare to let go of the fear, worry, and anxiety. And finally, dare to let not your heart be troubled.
Here is a prayer you can Pray whenever you are faced with troubles:
Lord, I ask for Your help with keeping my heart safe. I know it’s up to me to protect my heart, but I ask for Your help to discern the good from the bad. Teach me the way I should go. If there are things that would desensitize me to Your voice, or things that are potentially harmful to my heart, I ask that You would tell me so that I may choose You over it. I cast all my cares, all the weights I have carried, and all my confusion on You, Lord. I relinquish my problems and all the mental anguish that comes along with them into Your capable hands. I choose to live freely and lightly in Your loving embrace. Thank You for Your help. Amen.
Here are some Scriptures to meditate on:
“Peace I leave with you; My own peace
I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the
world gives do I give to you. Do not let your
hearts be troubled, neither let them be
afraid. Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated
and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to
be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and
unsettled.”
—John 14:27 AMPC
Guard your heart above all else, for it deter[1]mines the course of your life.
—Proverbs 4:23 NLT
My child, listen and be wise: keep your
heart on the right course.
—Proverbs 23:19 NLT
And finally here is an encouraging poem to lift up your spirits:
Let not your heart be troubled
by Deborah Ann
Let not your heart be troubled,
let not worry start your day
for Jesus came to give you
a new and peaceful way.
Let not concern unsettle you,
let not stress take its toll
for Jesus is here to calm you
and give quietness to your soul.
Let not your mind be burdened,
let not anguish weigh you down
for Jesus you can depend on
His tranquility is all around.
Let not your spirit fail you,
let not despair be what you feel
for Jesus desires your whole heart
to restore ~ so He can heal.
Let not your heart be troubled,
let not it be afraid today
for Jesus will bring you peace
and your anxiety will fade away.
