525 // When Fear Takes Over: Trusting God Instead of Catastrophizing (Bible Study and Devotional)

Hey Sis! 🎙️

Today’s episode is a gentle but needed reminder to stop letting our imaginations run wild with fear. We’re talking about catastrophizing—that spiral of assuming the worst and letting it steal our peace. 

Drawing from James 4:13–14 and Matthew 6:34, we’re reminded that we truly don’t know what will happen tomorrow—or even in the next hour. So why spend today consumed by “what ifs”? Together, we’ll explore how this common thought trap doesn’t help us plan—it just weighs us down. You’ll walk away with encouragement to stop predicting doom, start anchoring your thoughts in truth, and embrace the freedom that comes from doing the next right thing with Jesus by your side.
