We Want to Make it a Horror Show. But He Ain’t Gonna Let That Happen.

There are 100,000 threats we face every day. Far too many to ever list, much less ever manage on our own. By acknowledging and handing all of these threats to God, He is able to free us so we can be of better use to Him. Personally, I think this may be the biggest reason God hates for us to worry. Fear paralyzes us, neutralizing one of the weapons He has to fight evil.

Life is scary, but we come almost pre-programmed to anticipate the worst outcome. But He has promised to be with us always. Speaking for myself only here, my fear of the things I can't control usually leads me to create more frightening circumstances, and in a way, self-fulfilling my own fears.

I'll be honest, sometimes life does feel like a "horror movie". But what I've learned and seen more and more lately is that as scared as I may be, when I turn on the lights, it's usually my face revealed to be behind the mask, wielding the chainsaw all along.
