Trusting God with Your Worries — How God Helps Us Carry What We Can’t

Worry can settle in and weigh heavily on the heart.

Thoughts race, questions build, and the mind fills with what-ifs and worst-case scenarios. It can feel like standing in the middle of a storm with no clear way out.

But in that very place, Paul, in Philippians 4:6–7, writes about a peace from God—one that doesn't make sense by the world’s standards, yet has the power to steady both heart and mind.

God wants us to bring our worries to Him, not to ignore them. In every situation—no matter how small or overwhelming—there’s an open invitation to pray honestly, ask boldly, and give thanks even when things are uncertain.

The result isn’t simply relief—it’s peace. A kind of peace that doesn’t always make sense on paper. It may not remove the problem, but it steadies the soul. It protects the mind from spiraling and the heart from despair.

This passage doesn’t promise a life without pressure. It promises that peace is possible in the middle of it. God doesn’t guarantee a perfect outcome, but He does offer perfect peace—and that’s often what matters most.

Our May Bible Reading Plan, Trusting God with Your Worries, is based on that truth. Each day brings a verse that speaks directly to the heart weighed down by worry or discouragement. These aren’t quick fixes—they are steady reminders that God is near, God is listening, and God gives peace that holds fast when nothing else does.
