“FOMO, or the fear of missing out, is the anxiety that arises from the belief that others are having rewarding experiences that you are not part of, often exacerbated by social media.”
This phenomenon has several negative psychological effects, including increased anxiety and depression, distraction from the present, and compulsive behavior. This brings to mind the biblical account of Sarah in Genesis 21:1-3, where she patiently and faithfully awaited God’s promise that she would bear a child at the appointed time. True to His nature, God always fulfills His promises. He came through for Sarah and Abraham, granting them the gift of a son named Isaac, meaning “laughter.”
If there’s one message I can impart today, it’s this: do not succumb to FOMO. Don’t let the world deceive you into thinking you’re missing out on anything; you are not. Everything will happen for you at the set time. There is an appointed time for every birthing. Wait patiently for God’s timing, for He has not forgotten you. You are held securely in the palm of His hand; how could He forget you? Remain steadfast in prayer, waiting, and serving during this time. If God has placed an idea or a plan in your heart, He will ensure you bring it to fruition at the right time.
