However, our focus must be on the right component. It can’t be on us and our abilities. Nor can we only stare at our circumstances. Haven’t you ever noticed the more we concentrate on our troubles, it increases our despair? And then our fear and worry skyrocket.
Our concentration needs to be on something more significant. However, it isn’t always easy. After all, we are human, and our thoughts sometimes feel uncontrollable. Yet, we can all choose to push our thoughts aside and focus on what will give us peace, joy, and the strength to persevere.
We Must Focus on God
Have you ever had a child missing? You worry if they are cold and hungry or in danger. The fear of the unknown threatens to steal every ounce of energy you can muster up. You find yourself struggling to keep moving forward. Your mind becomes so cluttered with concern that making decisions and a plan seems impossible, yet your child needs you to hold it together.
I have been there, and the only way through it for me was to focus on God. Slowly but surely, as I turned my face towards the Lord, my worries turned into trust, and my mind quieted down, and I heard God’s voice.
When we turn our faces towards God, our worries turn into trust, our minds quiet down, and then we can hear the voice of God. #voiceofGod #worry #bestill Click To Tweet

Listen carefully for what He might be asking; Jesus loves to ask questions to help us find our way. But don’t be afraid to inquire of Him. After all, questions help us to deepen relationships; why would it be any different with God?

I have had the experience of a lost child. What a humbling experience! It did teach me to focus on God, rather than myself. You are absolutely right!
It is scary isn’t it. I agree the focus on God make all the difference. I hope you had a great weekend. I’m loving the extra hour in the evening of daylight. Maree
