Do Not Fret!
"Do not fret—
it only causes harm."
Psalm 37: 8
Phoebe Dynevor grew up in theater—
her father was a screenwriter—and she
began acting as a child. Now she’s famous.
How does she feel about it?
“I don’t think anyone knows how to handle that,”
she told a reporter. “I worry about everything. I’m
full of anxiety. I have a fear of failure, letting
someone down, contradicting myself.”
How easy it is to go through life worrying about everything!
How many of us are full of anxiety! That is exactly how we
should feel—if there is no God, no Jesus, no Holy Spirit,
no Bible, no heaven, and no hope.
But there is a God, a Savior, a Holy
Spirit, a Bible,
an eternal city, and a sure and certain hope.
We have all those things as part of our salvation. God loves us
perfectly, and perfect love casts out fear. Instead of worrying, try
worshiping. A song of praise does so much to drive out worries
and the woes of life.
"Hidden in the hollow of His blessed hand, / Never foe can follow,
never traitor stand; / Not a surge of worry, not a shade of care, /
Not a blast of hurry touch the spirit there."
Frances Ridley Havergal
