Often, we find ourselves thinking, “What if our life had turned out differently.”
What are we to say about this way of thinking? It’s a distraction. It takes our minds off the real world.
The only world we have is the world of right now. We can’t turn the clock back. We can’t rewrite our life story. God is calling us on from where we are now. Whatever our past may have been, God is calling us on into his future.We’re not able to change our past, but the Lord is able to change our future. We do not know what the future holds, but we do know who holds the future. “What if” thinking can shape our future. We can be at worried about what might happen. When we’re thinking like this, we’ll be filled with anxiety. When we feel like this. The Word of the Lord has something wonderful to say to us: “The Lord. is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus”(Philippians 4:5–7).
