Spiritual Vitamin: "Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time, he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you." 1 Peter 5:6-7
Reflect: Our anxieties arise because of our failure to recognize our weakness and utter dependence on God. Note how you feel, what you're thinking, what's going on when the anxiety occurs. Peter, in this text is connecting humility with dealing with our anxieties. How, you say? We need God's divine grace to help us combat the pride in our hearts that say "I can do this or that!" When we humble ourselves, we realize our absolute need for God for everything. We're not in control. God is! Meditate on this passage (1 Peter 5:6-7) and pray for it to be true in your life.
