Shifting focus

Ruth Bell Graham shares about a night she woke up with the name of a loved one on her heart and mind. Her imagination ran wild with fears until the Lord said to her, "Quit studying the problems and start studying the promises." After shifting her focus from her worry to worshipping God, she realized that "worship and worry cannot live in the same heart; they are mutually exclusive."

I am an analyzer - often to my own detriment. At a time when those I love are dealing with uncertainty and hurts that easily weigh me down, I needed this reminder to focus on WHO He is instead of the what ifs.

Shifting my focus changes my perspective.
