If your
children started school today, then you are probably feeling like a crazed
mother this morning. It’s a mixture of emotions between
feeling excited that your children are moving to a new level, and feeling sad
that they are moving to a new level. It’s hard
letting our babies grow up! However, we
can’t get bogged down by anxiety. We
have to trust in the Lord to watch over them and protect them.
So to all
mothers fighting with anxiety this morning, let’s take a stand. We have some choices to make:
1. Pitiful
or Powerful: Joyce
Meyer said “You cannot be pitiful and powerful at the same time.” In other
words, you are either going to sit, sulk and listen to the lies the enemy feeds
you or (and this is the better option) you are going to believe in the word of
God and receive the power he grants you through his Spirit.
2. Rejoice: If you spend your energy on
rejoicing, you’ll allow your flesh to rest in hope. Hope in what you may ask?
Hope in God and that he will take care of all your cares if you will just trust
in him. “Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad; moreover my flesh
also will rest in hope.” – Acts 2:26
3. Be
Blessed: “Oh, taste
and see that the LORD is good; Blessed
is the man who trusts in Him”- Psalm 34:8
