Gods Word over Worry - Daily Devotional by Max Lucado

Fretting over tomorrow’s problems siphons the strength you need for today, leaving you anemic and weak. So when you can’t sleep, don’t count sheep; read Scripture.

Worry takes a look at catastrophes and groans, “It’s all coming unraveled.” But God says in Romans 8:28, “Every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.” Worry claims, “The world has gone crazy,” but God’s Word disagrees. Mark 7:37 says, “Jesus has done it all and done it well.” Worry wonders if anyone is in control, but God’s Word calls God “the blessed controller of all things” (1 Timothy 6:15). Worry whispers this lie: “God doesn’t know what I need.” But God’s Word declares in Philippians 4:19, “God will take care of everything you need.”

Worry never sleeps, but God’s children do!
