Todays topic from our word for today devotional is "stressed out about money".

Our Bible quotation is from the book of  2 Timothy 1:7: For God has not given us the spirit of fear

To overcome financial anxiety, you must 1) understand where your anxiety comes from. Unless your name is Bill Gates, the chances are that you 'll experience some degree of financial anxiety. but when fear becomes your fixed state of mind, something is wrong; its time to unwrap the package. Fear can be hereditary, passed from generation to generation. And it can trap you in a circle thats hard to break. But you can break it! Gideon tore down the family alter where his family had Worshiped idols for generations-and they were angry with him when he did it (Judges 6:25-30). But gideon knew that in order to win in life, he must trust in nobody but God.

As you get older you become more risk-averse, more inclined to look for a safe harbour. That's understandable, but you can't
let fear control you life. David wrote, Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the day's of my life (Psalms 23:6 NKJV). When God's goodness is what you're believing for- God's goodness is what you'll surely get in Jesus Name. Amen.
