Red – “Release The Panic” (Devotional)
Fear, Stress, Anxiety…these are a few of my least favorite things. There is this story about a guy who plays a sport. It does not matter what the sport is. All that matters is that he has had one of the worst seasons in his career. At least to this guy, everything seems to be collapsing. Fans are really coming down on him and he himself is stressing with feelings of letting his team, family, and city down. At this point he begins to panic and he realizes that he is making things worse by doing so. The interesting part of this whole thing is that this athlete knows a God who loves him and has made a plan way before it has been executed. He knows that he ultimately has no control over the plan but only the ability that has been given to him.

Sometimes in our own lives people or God warns us that if we do this or do that we might cause “Damage” to our lives.
