Don’t Stress Out! Trust God to Provide By Rick Warren
“Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else?” Romans 8:32 (NLT)
The major cause of stress in your life is worry. You worry because you wonder if you will have what you need when you need it. But anytime you expect other people to meet your needs instead of God, you’re going to be frustrated and disappointed—because nobody on earth can meet all your needs. Only God can do that.
If you want a cure for stress, you must learn to look to God to meet your needs.
Some people find their security in their job, and when they lose their job, they lose their peace of mind. Others put their security in their marriage. Then their spouse dies, or they go through a divorce, and they ask, “Who am I? What is my identity?” Or maybe you put your security in your money—but there are a lot of ways to lose your money.
Instead of putting your security in things that can be taken away from you, put your security in something you can never lose: your relationship with Christ. You can always trust God to meet your needs.
Romans 8:32 says, “Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else?” (NLT).
If God loved you enough to send Jesus Christ to die on the cross, don’t you think he loves you enough to take care of every other need in your life? Yes! Of course he does.
Every time you start to get stressed, pause and say, “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want” (Psalm 23:1 ESV).
God’s going to provide. He’s going to take care of you. Instead of stressing out, look to him to meet all your needs.
