There are times when it seems like anxiety wins the battle in my mind and heart. The thoughts race. The “what ifs” win. Do you ever get to that place where you simply crave a little peace of mind?
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.” John 14:1
I’m always drawn to the word “let.” Why is Jesus saying to not LET our hearts be troubled? Who would choose trouble?
I think, at times, we all do. Not intentionally. But when we LET our minds dwell in fear or when we make space for negative voices…maybe that’s a LETTING IN that fosters troubled waters in our minds.
Maybe Jesus is not only inviting you to trust Him today, maybe He’s encouraging you to un-invite some habits or intrusive voices in your life.
When we spend more time with Jesus, there’s more room for peace. And less space for troubling thoughts. – Sandi
