“What worries have you clutched too tightly?”
This passage makes me think again about my natural inclination to want to fix everything.
Especially when it comes to my family. I want everyone happy. I want to be perfect for each of them and provide exactly what they need, exactly when they need it.
And when I can’t…I worry.
I worry about their happiness and their future. I worry if I’m doing “enough”. I worry about their challenges and their sufferings.
As a mom…it seems nearly impossible not to worry.
So what do we do when we feel helpless and feel that no matter how hard we try…
We can’t “fix it”.
The passage today says…”to look often at the crucified Christ and receive trust. Our peace is in his wounds. Trust what he endured for you.”
So today I pray for trust. I pray for the humility to trust in His plan and His protection.
Dear Lord, I place my worries at the foot of the cross, “not with answers but with trust”. Amen.
