Casting Anxiety on God

Published On: January 8, 2025.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings about your upcoming bridal shower. It’s completely understandable to feel nervous about the weather and its potential impact on your special day. Let’s reflect on your situation and find some encouraging scripture to help you remain hopeful.

**Journal Entry Reflection**

**Weather Worries:** Feeling anxious about the possibility of snow affecting the bridal shower.
“Today, I’m reflecting on the upcoming bridal shower this Saturday. I’m feeling nervous about the weather, as there’s a chance of snow. I worry that this might prevent people from attending, especially since my mom and others have worked so hard to plan this event. Changing the date now feels overwhelming, and I’m trying to stay hopeful despite my concerns.”

**Scripture for Reflection**

1. **Hope and Future:** Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
This verse reminds us that God has good plans for us, even when circumstances seem uncertain. Trusting in His plans can help alleviate some of your worries.

2. **Casting Anxiety on God:** 1 Peter 5:7 (NIV)
“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”
This scripture encourages you to hand over your worries to God. He cares deeply for you and wants to help you through this anxious time.

3. **Peace Through Prayer:** Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV)
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
Bringing your concerns to God in prayer can bring you peace, even amidst uncertainty.

**Custom Prayer**

“Heavenly Father, we come before You with open hearts, feeling anxious about the upcoming bridal shower. We lift our worries about the weather and the potential impact on attendance to You. Lord, grant us peace and help us trust in Your plans. May we find comfort in knowing that You care for us and are with us during this time. Thank You for the hard work that has gone into planning this special day. We ask for Your guidance and strength as we navigate these concerns. Amen.”
