How did you see yourself looking to the future? – Response by Sarah Jerez

We struggle with fear of the future because we believe that everything depends on us. If everything is in your hands you have a burden that you cannot carry. It also fills your life with disappointment because not all your plans and dreams can come true. When you realize that the future is in the Lord's hands and is not in your hands, you can rest easy knowing that your days are written by Him and He has works prepared for us to walk through. I have a God who is in control of everything, he has my days in his hands, he has a plan for what He wants me to do and his love and mercy are with me always.
