It is one thing to say, “Do not fret,” but something very different to have such a nature that you find yourself not fretting.
It’s easy to say, “Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him” (Psalm 37:7) until our own little world is turned upside down and we are forced to live in confusion... Is it possible to “rest in the Lord” then?
If this “Do not” doesn’t work there, then it will not work anywhere. This “Do not” must work during our days of difficulty and uncertainty, as well as our peaceful days, or it will never work... Resting in the Lord is not dependent on your external circumstances at all, but on your relationship with God Himself.
