Focus on God
I have had some health challenges this past while that are unrelated to my cancer. I have to admit that one of the first things that came to my mind was "what if." But I also have to admit that I knew I couldn't stay in that frame of mind. We can't allow ourselves to be traumatized by worrying about what might happen. Thinking about what "might" happen is not a need or prayer that God will meet. But He does help us with whatever does come our way.
Staying in constant communication with the Lord is my protection from worry, fear, and anxiety. I have to choose to not focus on the problem, and instead focus on God's goodness and faithfulness. I remind myself of how He's met me time and time again - especially in recent years. He has never, ever failed me. There's no room for worry when I focus this way!
"An anxious heart weighs a man down." Proverbs 12:25
"Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?" Luke 12:25,26
"Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34
