Everyone has something to worry about, real concerns that need attention. We pray that God fixes our problems or brings us what we long for, and then we wait, frustrated and confused, for answers...
What if we worried about someone else? What if we started noticing other people's pain and reached out to help? What if we took the energy we spent worrying about ourselves and expended it on empathy for a perfect stranger?
On the days we feel most worthless, perhaps we could do something worthwhile? On the days we feel deprived, perhaps we could offer something of value to someone who has less?
Maybe God is waiting on us to show Him what we are asking Him for? Maybe in order to receive, we need to do more giving? Maybe, just maybe, we need to feel safe by risking more.
2Corinthians 9:6
He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
