DON'T TRY TO WORK IT OUT!

1 Peter 5:7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

I'm sure we all have cares of some kind or another and if you have a brain like mine you want to figure everything out to the last degree. We plan, we organise, we look at problems from every angle, even the ones that don't exist, in order to solve problems! 

Maybe you're a problem solver too and want to try to fix everybody and make everything right for them which is a lovely caring thought but actually only one person can do that job and it's God Himself. How often do we inadvertently try to play God without even realising it? 

My daughter has often had to say to me "Don't overthink it Mum!" and she's absolutely right and what a blessing it is to have someone in your life to remind you of that. The overthinking thing often happens when we're tired or in the small hours of the night when things loom up like giants but in the light of day we remember we're not the problem solver, God is.

So will you allow me to be that someone for you and let me say it to you today "Stop overthinking things and don't try to work it all out!"  If God wants you to do something about it He'll show you what to do, and if He doesn't, then leave well alone and let Him do it because He'll do it so much better than us anyway.😊

Instead let's be thankful and pray in faith about our situations and then we'll receive the Holy Spirit's input and wisdom.  Trust the One who loves you and just rest in the knowledge that we can cast all our cares on Him and know He's sorting it all out. Our God is mighty.
