Lately there have been more sources for stress in my life than I can ever remember having. Stress comes for me when things feel like they are out of my control and I don't know how they are going to be resolved. There is this energy bent up that wants to resolve the problem but can't so it seems like it just gets channeled in to worry/anxiety. It's like the issues are just always running in the back of my head. I can see how stress causes problems for peoples health.
Anyway this Sunday we're singing something like "You'll never let go" and "You are my portion" and I'm overwhelmed by the reality that Jesus can handle these stressors. What's more, he has handled them all in the past. There is a freedom there. To be diligent, resolve the problems I can and trust that the rest will be covered by the God that has been covering his people since the beginning. I went to my knees when I realized that. I don't deserve that kind of care, and yet there it is.
