Good morning ,
The cycle of worry is real. It can even lead people to a diagnosis of anxiety.
I don’t know what your 2025 has looked like, but mine has led me to be a little worried, and sometimes extremely worried.
Between parenting, home repairs, the economy, personal finances, business, marriage and homeschooling, I’ve been worried. Then I remember the peace that Christ gives. Then I pray, and my hope is stronger than ever until I begin to worry again. It’s a cycle that I can feel trapped in.
What is wrong with me? Why do I keep falling into this trap? I know Jesus tells us not to worry, so why do I do the opposite? I don’t like it, but there I find myself worrying again.
That is why we have to renew our minds through the Word of God. We must lean on what His Word says rather than our current experience. If I'm honest, I can lose sight of focusing on God’s power and instead focus solely on what I can do. The control seeps back in, and I try to fix it instead of relying on the Lord to do what only He can do. I’ve seen Him do it so many times, but out of my impatience or lack of understanding, I begin the cycle of worry again.
I know God sees me. He knows my struggles. He will come on His time and not a second sooner. I'm letting go of my worry. I'm handing it over to the Lord once again. I'm choosing peace over worry.
I appreciate you being part of this community—it's always more than skin care. 💛
