‘LET HIM HAVE ALL YOUR WORRIES AND CARES.’ 1 PETER 5:7 TLB
A lot of us grew up believing there’s a Mr. Right out there who can ride in on a white horse with no troubles of his own and make everything wonderful for us. The truth is Mr. Right is probably looking for somebody to answer his own ‘help wanted’ ad. Do you really think someone is going to come looking for the kind of weight your problems would lay on them? Even if they are willing (and most are not), are they able? Men are not God. Only the Lord can restore what you’ve lost and make your life what it ought to be. So start talking to the right person – God! Things will begin to improve when you stop looking for Mr. Right to be the antibiotic to all of life’s infections and the answer to all of life’s questions. Only God can heal what you’ve been trying to cure, or demand emotionally from others. He alone can ride into your situation on the wings of hope and put things together. One touch of His hand can bring you peace, even in the midst of the most tragic events that seem meaningless. Yes, He’s the One who can relieve your pain and bring order to your chaotic world. The question is, will you let Him? We become so self-reliant that we’re no longer God-reliant; we don’t seek God so we end up ‘playing God.’ Don’t do that any more! Reach for Him today and let Him help you: ‘Let [God] have all your worries and cares, for he is always thinking about you and watching everything that concerns you.’
