"You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock." (Isaiah 26:3-4).
When problems and troubles arise in our lives we have a tendency to focus on and become obsessed with them. As a result we often become fearful, anxious or filled with worry. Its been said that worry doesn't take the sorrow out of tomorrow it takes the joy out of today.
In this life we can expect problems. Jesus never promised the absence of problems. Instead he has promised to give us peace in the midst of our storms (John 16:33). But in order to experience the peace that Jesus promises we must not simply try to quit obsessing over our problems. The more we try not to think about our problems the more we tend to be consumed by them. We must rather transfer our focus from our problems to God and trust him to see us through. Lean upon Jesus.
