As I am struggling to keep my head above water at work, I took a minute to read today's devotional in Jesus Calling by Sarah Young, and the words were just what I needed, so I am going to reproduce them here, if only for me to try to help my mind and heart internalize them:
I am your Strength and Shield. I plan out each day and have it ready for you long before you arise from bed. I also provide the strength you need each step of the way. Instead of assessing your energy level and wondering about what's on the road ahead, concentrate on staying in touch with ME. My Power flows freely into you through our open communication. Refuse to waste energy worrying, and you will have strength to spare.
Whenever you start to feel afraid, remember that I am your Shield. But unlike inanimate armor, I am always alert and active. My Presence watches over you continually, protecting you from both known and unknown dangers. Entrust yourself to My watchcare, which is the best security system available. I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go.
I pray that the Holy Spirit will give me what I need, and will help me to "refuse to waste energy worrying." I am a worrier at heart, but I am trusting that the Lord will give me the strength to refuse the fear and the worry as soon as they start creeping up my back. I claim the words of Psalm 28: 7
