Mind Meltdown
 
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;  Proverbs 3:5 
 
Feel as if you're having a 'mind meltdown'? That at any moment you might go over the edge? Listen: 'Come to Me, all of you who are tired...and I will give you rest...learn from Me...The teaching that I ask you to accept is easy; the load I give you to carry is light' (Matthew 11:28-30). 'Mind meltdown' is brought on by our need to know all the facts ahead of time - to be in control. We're so afraid things won't turn out the way we want them to that we even develop a back-up plan in case God doesn't come through for us! Sound familiar? When you put your money in the bank, do you stay up all night wondering if it's safe? Come on, have at least that much faith in God! 'What can I do?' you ask. The moment you begin the downward spiral of - How? What? When? Where? Why? Stop and give it to God! Not the little God of your understanding, but the One who asks, 'Is anything too hard for Me?' (Genesis 18:14). Know what your problem is? You don't know God well enough! In Knowing God, J.I. Packer writes, 'What matters is not that I know God, but that He knows me. I'm engraved on the palms of His hands. I'm never out of His mind. There's not a moment when His eye is off me, or His attention is distracted from me; no moment when His care falters. What momentous knowledge. What unspeakable comfort. God is constantly watching over me.'
 
Prayer
Heavenly Father, Thank you for knowing me better than I know myself.  Help me to trust you in all things – especially those things that I tend to worry about.  Forgive me when I don’t.  In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen
