God’s grace has made available to us all the blessings we need for successful lives; we receive those good things by faith. However, we have a spiritual enemy, and his purpose is to amplify things going on in our lives to the point where we begin worrying about them. Worry blocks God’s blessings so that we do not receive what He promised. It is not God’s will for us to live in worry or stress. As free moral agents, we have the choice of whether or not to allow worry to enter in; this negative emotion cannot assert itself if we believe God instead of the circumstances. We live in a stressful world; however, we are more effective when we can rest in what Jesus has done instead of stressing out over what others are doing. Staying at rest empowers us to move out of worry and find grace.
