Day Twelve: Proverbs Road Trip

Proverbs 12:25 "Worry is a heavy load..."

It's not much, it's just a little worry, a little anxiety, a little care. It's not much, not something to concern God with. After all, He is the God and creator of the universe, why should I bother him with the small stuff?

Why you ask? Well...

(1) Because even the smalled worry is too heavy to carry on your own.

(2) Because worry clouds your vision. Worry keeps you from seeing God's promises.

(3) Because God loves it when we give Him our worries. He loves it when we talk to Him about even the smallest of concerns.

1 Peter 5:7 commands us: "Give all your worries to him, because he cares for you."

When we take our worries (even the smallest) to God in conversation with Him (prayer), God get's to calm our concerns. He gets to remind us that he cares for us. He gets to tell us again that He has promised to never leave us, never forsake us.

Worry is too heavy of a load for me or you to carry - God wants to carry our concerns for us.
