Don't
Worry About Anything; Instead, Pray About Everything.
Tell
God What You Need,
And
Thank Him For All He Has Done.
Scripture
Philippians
4
6 Don’t
worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what
you need, and thank him for all he has done.
7 Then
you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can
understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in
Christ Jesus.
Fix
your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure,
and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and
worthy of praise.
Observation
I
am guilty. I am guilty of sharing these verses with people probably
more than any other passage in the Bible.
If
you are a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ putting these three
verses into practice would solve many of your problems. So why not
memorize them so God's Holy Spirit can bring them to your mind the
next time worry takes over.
All
of us have plenty of things that can cause us to be worried and
stressed out … For example – our kids, our grandkids, our
finances, our health, our future, our relationships, our job or no
job, etc., but worrying about all of those things does us absolutely
no good.
In
fact, the only thing that worrying about those things will do is to
make us sick.
Philippians
4:6-7 is the best solution for how to deal with all of life's
stressful situations.
Is
your heart broken over the bad behavior of one of your grown
children?
Pray
for them! Ask God to deal with them!
Application
Every
time I catch myself worrying about something I will stop worrying and
start praying.
How
about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I know that all of these problems that come into my life are
useful if they cause me to look up to You for help and cause me to
pray. Don't let me waste my time worrying about something. I know
that when I worry it is actually a lack of faith. It means that I am
not trusting in You. Help me to trust You with everything that is
happening in my life.
I
pray for any person reading this blog today. Help them to put
Philippians 4:6-8 into practice today. Help them not to worry. Show
them that they can trust in You to handle whatever is going on in
their life.
