When I Don’t Know What the Future Holds

I have this habit of mentally jumping too far into the future, and then deciding I’m going to be afraid of it. Of whatever might be there waiting for me. I fear that a new problem or crisis will come crashing into my life, or more commonly, what current hard thing will be so much worse by then?

I fear sickness, loss, disease, rejection and deep disappointment. But what’s worse is that I fully believe I’m right and validated in my fear … and I can sometimes leave God completely out of the scenario. Because when God is considered, and His great and surprising works are factored in along with his omniscience and goodness, we can be so very wrong.

If you get stuck in cycles of being so very afraid of the future, this short episode is for you.
