Mountains

If you are like me, there are seasons when you might find yourself a little overwhelmed when you look at the mountain in front of you. The mountain might be task-related, relational, health, financial, or any number of things. In those moments we must remind ourselves that our God is the God of that mountain! If our mountain is health-related, we remind ourselves that He is our healer. If the mountain is relational, we remind ourselves that our God loves all of us and desires restoration with healthy relationships. If it is work-related, we remind ourselves that He has invited us into His work which means He knows everything needed and has provision for all of it. And through it all…

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation,
by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving,
present your requests to God.
Philippians 4:6

Bottom line – we don’t have the answers, but we are loved by a God who does! So we are not to work ourselves into a tizzy. Instead, our Father calls us to prayer; He calls us to Himself. He invites us into His presence to ask for His provision and answers for what is in front of us. And we get to do that with thanksgiving! Not false hope or fake gratitude, but true thanksgiving because we know He already has the answer.

Have you found yourself in the enemy’s trap of anxiousness? It is OK, we all have from time to time! Recognize it for what it is – a trap – and pray your way out with a thankful heart. Our Father loves you and welcomes you into His presence with profound grace. Ask Him for His answer and provision and then thank Him for His faithfulness. You will find peace, joy, and a sweet reminder that …

You are adored.
