When You Need to Grow Faith and Stop Worry

Worried about something? How about turning your focus away from trouble and towards God? These 3 truths about our Heavenly Father will calm your fears.

When was the last time God spoke to you via email? A few weeks ago, I got a random email from someone I barely know. The message included no greeting or closing. Only the words: “His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.”

Most likely, I received that email by accident, but I recognized God wanted me to get that message because He knew I’d been feeling worried. The troubles I was facing weren’t out of the ordinary, but they’d stolen my peace and made me forget God’s care for me.

I didn’t mention my “email from God’ to anyone, but a few days later when my husband and I visited friends, I got the message again. When our friend handed me a teacup, I saw the words, clear as a bell, on the side of that cup:

Do you struggle with worry? 4 steps will help you grow your faith and shrink your worries. When we focus on God's power and love, our perspective changes.

You see, I’m an expert worrier. If something is alive, dead, inanimate, or has between two and four feet, I can worry about it. If there’s a problem, I take it on and try to control it.

I know God wants to give me spiritual rest, but I have a hard time trusting Him.

I even worry about my dog.

We can stop worry and choose trust with these 4 steps. When our thoughts rush down the track of fear and doubt, we can stop and choose to trust God instead.“Stop the car!” I said. My teen daughter had managed to hit the gas and make the car lurch forward in first gear, but we were going a lot faster than I’d anticipated. It was her first driving lesson. We were in an almost empty parking lot at 8:00 a.m., but there were a few other vehicles around and I didn’t trust her steering skills.
