Where My Help Comes From: Trusting God's Protection

You see, God literally watches the steps of his people and he keeps us steady. He's watching every step you take, every choice you make. God's watching you. He's paying attention. He's protecting you. He's not gonna let you slip. He's not gonna let you fall. He's gonna take care of you. It doesn't mean that there won't be hard times. It doesn't mean that there won't be trial, but God's faithful. [00:48:25] (29 seconds)  #GodWatchesEveryStep

I read a startling statistic that one third of American adults struggle with anxiety to the point that they need professional help or medication. One third. Over $45,000,000,000 is spent every year in the treatment of anxiety. Now, I am not here in any way and that means if if those statistics are true that somebody you're sitting next to struggles with anxiety or either someone who's sitting in your seat and that's okay. We're not here to criticize you or judge you or condemn you or find fault, but we are here to give you hope. [00:36:12] (47 seconds)  #YouAreNotAlone

Disappointment comes when expectations go unmet. Let me say that again. Disappointment comes when expectations go unmet. When we don't get what we think we deserve or things didn't go the way we thought they were gonna go. That brings disappointment. And that disappointment creates fear or anxiety for the future. So if things didn't go well this time, that means next time they may not go well. So now we start becoming afraid. [00:47:19] (30 seconds)  #ExpectationsCauseDisappointment

Why worry, worry, worry, worry when you can pray. Let's all sing that again. No, not really. I'm kidding. But that was a song we said, we don't need to worry. God's got it. God whatever it is, God's got it. And by the way, one of the reason I wish I had time to spend a lot on this. One of the reasons we're anxious and we worry so much is because we think too much about this world and not enough about the next. [00:50:12] (21 seconds)  #PrayDontWorry

Where do you go for help? Now, think about it for a moment. Where do you go for help? Whenever you need something, where do you go for help? Somebody said Jesus and I like that. And I like to think that that's where I go. But if I'm being perfectly honest, that may not always be the first phone number I dial or the first person I text. I can remember when I was a kid and something wouldn't be right in my life, I'd holler for daddy. [00:29:41] (29 seconds)  #GoToJesusFirst

You say, oh, but you don't understand. See, I've got a problem coming up at work. I got this big project at work. God can handle it. He made heaven and earth. You say, oh, but you don't know my boss. You think they're more difficult to deal with than speaking the stars into their place? I don't think so. [00:42:18] (19 seconds)  #NoProblemTooBigForGod

God's not going to sleep on you. You ought to be able to rest at night. Now, my wife, she can attest to this. When I close my eyes, I go to sleep. Especially if she's talking a little bit, it helps. It's because her voice is so soothing and comforting, of course. But I literally, I lay down, I close my eyes, I'm out. [00:52:49] (29 seconds)  #GodGivesRest
