He Cares for Your Concerns

“The LORD will perfect that which concerns me.”

Psalm 138:8

An average person has around 60,000 thoughts per day, with a significant portion of those being worries or repetitive negative thoughts, and some research suggests an average person might experience around 34 unique worries per day. Excessive worrying can significantly impact a person’s mental and physical health by triggering the body’s stress response, leading to symptoms like increased heart rate, muscle tension, difficulty sleeping, headaches, digestive issues, a weakened immune system, and even impacting cognitive function, potentially contributing to anxiety and depression if left unmanaged; essentially, chronic worry can disrupt daily life and overall well-being.

You could have gone to the doctor for a basic check-up and come to find out you are diagnosed with a terminal disease. You could be driving to the grocery store, and someone has chosen your car to get into an accident with. As you are going about your day, you receive a phone call that you dread hearing about your children or loved ones. You woke up in the morning expecting good things to happen, then you see on television that the whole world market is tanking, including your portfolio. What do you do when negative things suddenly pop their ugly head into your life when you least expect it? How would you respond to that?
