I am anxious about a lot of things. First, my visa is about to expire. Second, I am still in the same situation as I was in the last 8 years. I feel bad that I was not able to practice much of my profession. As I aged, I want to have a clearer direction because I desire to provide for my family.
I asked God to enlighten me and He reminded me of Moses, Job, and Elijah who also went through anxieties during their time. God reminded me of Jeremiah 29:11 and assured me of our future as a family. I remember God’s goodness when He healed more than 50 of my family members and relatives from COVID-19. The Holy Spirit reminded me of God’s goodness in the past. My heart changed from being doubtful to being confident in God’s sustenance as I follow Him. My heart received “joy to counter sadness, peace to replace our anxiety, forbearance (patience) to push out our impulsiveness, kindness to care about others, goodness to see to their needs, faithfulness to keep our promises, gentleness instead of harshness, and self-control to lift us beyond self-centeredness (Galatians 5:22–23).” Praise God for turning things according to His will.
