Read Isaiah 26:3
"You keep him in perfect peace whose mind stays on You, because he trusts in You."
Devotional
Many times, anxiety comes from trying to control things we were never meant to control. We want to know what will happen, how things will turn out, and what others will think.
But peace does not come from controlling everything. Peace comes from trusting the One who is in control.
God sees the things you cannot see. He knows the future. He understands your struggles. When you trust Him, you can have peace even when you don’t have all the answers.
Following Jesus does not mean you will never have problems. It means you never have to face problems alone.
Today, instead of asking, “How can I control this?” ask, “How can I trust God in this?”

- What is something you wish you could control right now?
- What would trusting God with that situation look like?
Prayer
God, help me trust you with the things I cannot control. Remind me that your plans are better than mine and that you are always with me. Amen.
