BREAKING THE CYCLE OF WORRY (November 14, 2025)

We worry for the best of reasons, or so we tell ourselves.

An unexpected bill arrives. The car won’t start. A three-year old grows feverish. Layoff slips are piling up for even long-time workers.

The brooding circle of our fears goes rounding for an answer. In all those moments “in between,” we just can’t break their vast, erosive power. We want control—ours or anyone’s—to hold at bay dark outcomes that we dread.

And God’s Word doesn’t chide us when we worry in our helplessness, nor urge us to “Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive.” We’re given there a clear-eyed glimpse of what is really true about our lives—of God’s deep, constant love for us, for now and for forever: “Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with My victorious right hand” (Isa 41:10).

When we align our fraying hope with heaven’s lasting kindness, we give ourselves to what is truer than our worries: “Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who loved us and by His grace gave us eternal comfort and a wonderful hope, comfort you and strengthen you in every good thing you do and say” (2 Thes 2:16-17).

Grace teaches us to trust what Christ has done, is doing, and will do.

Let fear recede and slip away.

Then stay in grace. -Bill Knott
