Welcome to Thankful Thursday: His Encouragement. I am blessed to be part of a group of bloggers who’ll be sharing a bit of encouragement through Scripture verses. I hope this post blesses you as you finish the week and that you find peace, strength, and comfort in the Lord.

I’m a worrier–about just about everything, unfortunately. I’ve been this way for as long as I can remember. Logically, I know that most of the things I worry about are beyond my control. My worries rarely change things, and many of the situations I stress about never come to pass. I’m better than I used to be at turning my worries into prayers and then releasing them to God. However, I’m still a work in progress.

As is evidenced in today’s verse, worrying takes our focus off the One who deserves our attention: the Lord. Mary chose correctly when she focused on the Lord instead of the little details Martha was worried and upset about.

I pray that each day I become more like Mary, and I thank God for His patience with me.
