God Performs His Wonders Through You
Sometimes worries beyond your control prey on your mind; you may be concerned about your job, or an increase in rent.

If you are anxious and worried about a personal matter, you must remember that God is greater than all the circumstances and situations that could befall you.

For a moment you may have allowed fear and uncertainty about the future to obscure your image of God. However, He is forever constant and He desires to share the deepest experience of your life with you. God's omnipotence will sweep away all petty thoughts and all uncertainty will disappear.

Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7
