Seeing the Invisible: When Anxiety Meets God's Presence
#RTTBROS #Nightlight
"The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit." (John 3:8, KJV)
You know what keeps me up at night? It's not usually what happened yesterday. It's what might happen tomorrow. My mind drifts into the future like a warrior scanning the horizon for threats. And there, in that tomorrow territory, anxiety springs up like mushrooms after a rainstorm.
Here's what I've learned: I can't see God with my physical eyes, but I can learn to see Him by His movement in my life. Just like that wind Jesus talked about in John 3. You can't see wind itself, but you sure can see what it does. You see the leaves dancing, feel it on your face, watch it bend the tall grass. The wind is real even though it's invisible.
God works the same way. I may not see Him with my eyes, but I can see His fingerprints everywhere. I see Him in that unexpected provision that showed up right when I needed it. I see Him in the peace that makes no sense given my circumstances. I see Him in the way He's carried me through every storm I was sure would drown me.
When I take the time to really see God moving in my present moment, something shifts. That anxiety that was growing in tomorrow's territory? It starts to shrink. Because I remember: the same God who's here with me right now will be there with me tomorrow too.
"Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." (1 Peter 5:7, KJV)
God knows we need to plan for the future. He's not asking us to be foolish. But He is asking us to stay anchored in today, where He is. Not lost in a tomorrow that hasn't happened yet, growing anxiety like a crop we never planted.
So tonight, before you drift off to sleep worrying about tomorrow, take a minute. Look for God's wind blowing in your life right now. See where He's moving. Feel His presence. And let that reality of God here, now, diminish the anxiety about God there, later.
Because He's already there waiting for you.
Prayer:
Father, teach me to see You moving in my life today. Help me feel Your presence like wind on my face. When anxiety tries to pull me into tomorrow's worries, anchor me in today's reality that You are here, You are faithful, and You will be there too. In Jesus' name, Amen.
