Here is a helpful excerpt from a recent blog post from Paul Tripp:
Does this sound like your daily routine? When you wake up every morning, the first thing you do is check the news to discover the latest stats and developments:
How many cases of COVID-19 are in my town or state?How long is this social distancing predicted to last?What are the financial markets doing today?What does the latest expert have to contribute?
(If you’re anything like me, you’ll be tempted to do the same again before bed ... and revisit multiple times throughout the day!)
Staying informed and making wise decisions based on that information is a good thing. The problem is that we can develop an unhealthy habit in our hearts where we meditate on trouble and forget God.
When we do this, the crisis will loom larger and larger, and God will appear smaller and smaller.
Only one thing can result from such a habit: fear.
Paralyzing, panic-producing, anxiety-resulting fear.
Today I want to help you fight against fear and break that unhealthy habit.
