“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’

Matthew 25:23

Planning isn’t a bad thing.

In fact, being a good steward of our time and resources is one of the ways we can glorify God in this world. But if we spend too much time hanging around the what-ifs, the toxicity of worry begins to poison our hearts and minds. God puts things into your hands according to your ability and His power to work in and through you. If He’s entrusted it to you, you can carry it. Of the things you listed that you are worried about, how can you shift your mindset from worry to stewardship? How can you see that God has entrusted you to carry the thing you worry most about?

Scripture References

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?

Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

9Remember the former things, those of long ago;

I am God, and there is no other;

I am God, and there is none like me.

10I make known the end from the beginning,

from ancient times, what is still to come.

I say, ‘My purpose will stand,

and I will do all that I please.’

“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’

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

7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

17so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,

18may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,

4The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.

5We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

8I keep my eyes always on the

Lord

With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

9Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;

my body also will rest secure,

8In peace I will lie down and sleep,

for you alone,

Lord

make me dwell in safety.
