hold on

Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you.

- 1 Peter 5:7 (NLT)

 

I started this week talking about how we are going to be ok, it is only fitting that we finish the week focused on what God can do for us when we don’t feel ok.
I have horrible anxiety, I have written about it before, many times in fact. 
Unfortunately, my anxiety is a big part of who I am now. 
And I hate it. 
Sometimes it is so overwhelming that I am frozen in place. 
Katy Nichole put out a song in 2023 called Hold On that made me stop and think about this.
Smoke clouds

All around

Couldn't see Your face

Darkness consumed me

Stuck in the bitterness

But I know there's a light

That's waiting up ahead

So I'll stay in the fight

And look to the One who said

Hold on just a little bit longer

I know it's gonna be okay

These days are gonna make you stronger

You'll find purpose in the pain

Hold on just a little bit longer

Deep down there's a well of faith

Let hope arise as you're lifting up My name

And just hold on

Just hold on, hold on

Your promise

It still stands

It's chasing after me

The rainbow

Through storm clouds

Is how I'm gonna see

That there is a light

That's waiting up ahead

So I'll stay in the fight

And look to the One who said

Hold on just a little bit longer

I know it's gonna be okay

These days are gonna make you stronger

You'll find purpose in the pain

Hold on just a little bit longer

Deep down there's a well of faith

Let hope arise as you're lifting up My name

And just hold on

Hold on, hold on

Just wait 'til you see what's at the end of the road

A new life is ready to unfold

“Hold on” – is it really that simple?
Sometimes we do get stuck in the bitterness, sometimes we only feel pain. 
Sometimes, we really do need to give it all to God. 

No matter where we are or what we are facing, we should understand that God is with us right now.

He wants to take all those worries away from us and give us peace to live a carefree life.
