Try Not To Be Worried

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I trust. Psalm 91:1-2
I have a habit of worrying, so this is a passage that reminds me that when I'm worried or stressed about something, I need to dwell in the 'secret place of the Most High.' It's comforting to know that we can bring all of our fears, anxieties, and problems to God. The 'secret place' is a place where we can find peace. It's the center, the heart, the intimacy, of our relationship with God. When we're connected to God, when we have that intimate relationship with Him, when difficult times come, God will be our fortress and our refuge. He will never leave us or forsake us. I once heard a pastor say that we are either going into a trial, we are in a trial, or we are coming out of a trial. Knowing God is with us, and trusting in Him, will help us remain 'stable and fixed.' I don't know what my future holds, but I know who holds my future.
