Humble Yourselves

By Ricci Fayard

“Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭5:6-7‬ ‭

Carrying your worries, stresses, and daily struggles by yourself shows that you have not trusted God fully with your life. It takes humility to recognize that God cares, to admit your need, and to let others in God’s family help you. Sometimes we think that our struggles are not God’s concern, especially if we caused our own troubles. But when we turn to God in repentance and ask for His help, He will bear the weight of our struggles. Letting God have your anxieties calls for action, not passivity. Don’t submit to circumstances, submit to the Lord who controls circumstances! Don’t sit around doing nothing in your time of trouble, seek God and He will hear your cry, humble yourself before Him and receive His peace.
Thank you Father for lifting us up in due time. May we cast all our anxiety on you. In Jesus name, amen.
