A few weeks ago I had to undergo some dental work & I started to feel anxious & fearful about it before it began. I’m thankful to the Holy Spirit that helped me to discern these thoughts/ feelings that did not come from God. I prayed & put myself in God’s hands.
.
The Holy Spirit reminded me that I don’t need to fear or be anxious over anything because the Lord hasn’t given me a spirit of fear, but of power, love, & self control. And I am in God’s hands, & He will take good care of me no matter what. There might be temporary pain, but I know ultimately it’s for my good, & I prayed the Lord would be the one guiding the procedures & give wisdom to the health professionals.
.
That made me feel so much better. Knowing that I am not in the hands of a human with limited knowledge, but in the hands of our all- powerful, all- knowing Lord. I know that ultimately, even if it did all go “wrong,” it would be for my good & His glory. Knowing this gave me so much peace. If you feel fearful or anxious over anything, talk to God & put yourself in His hands. Entrust your life into His care, completely! His perfect love will cast out every fear. ❤
