Have you been praying and waiting on the Lord to answer you? Are you confused as to what step to take? Are you sick, discouraged or just at your wits end? Are you anxious or restless? Or are you just fed up with the same condition?
Are you hoping for something new in your life? Whatever your circumstance may be, God wants you to get rid of anxiety. Instead of worrying, how about just thank God daily for who He is!
God deserves our praise. He already knows what is going on. Instead of worrying, talk to Him. He tells us to “Cast our cares on Me for I care for you.”
The Word of the Lord also says; “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.” Phillipians 4:6
In the world today, there is so much happening to make us anxious. There is so much violence, deceit, hardship and natural disasters. And the scriptures say, this is just the beginning. But don’t let your heart get troubled, God has everything under His control! Remember that God has done so many wonderful things for you. He has given us many testimonies from The Word to enhance our trust and faith in Him. God knows your name and even the hairs on your head are all numbered.
Faith will help you to persist, to stay focused, to not allow anything or anyone to take your eyes off the Lord. It does not mean that you will not go through some challenges. Quite the opposite. Jesus is our supreme example. He is the only one who lived a pure life. Look at all the things that He went through.
God tells us not to be anxious for anything. But if you continue to worry, if you are still sad and weighed down. Then you are the one carrying the burden of your life. Allow God to carry your burden by giving it up to Him. He knows how best to handle it.
Trust God and know He really does know what is best for you! If you have truly cast your cares on God this way you will not be anxious. The peace of God which passes all understanding will keep you. That peace will guard your heart and your mind. God says so and His Word is true. There is great comfort in truly knowing that God cares about your struggles and challenges. Not just that He cares, He also wants to help you.
God wants to be involved in every aspect of your life. But He gives us the power to either choose to involve Him or not. He does not force Himself on us. Make up your mind to give Him that burden in your heart. Talk to your Father. When you give Him that burden, He gives you peace in return.
His peace exceeds the understanding of man. Keep God’s Word in your heart always.
God’s Word is so important. It is full of testimonies and promises to let us know that He has everything under His control.
God loves you. Yes, He loves us so much that He sacrificed His Son to save us from sin. If He gave His Son for us, how can He not deliver or set you free from that difficult situation. God’s love is beyond the knowledge of man. Remember what He says about being anxious for nothing, but through everything with prayer and thanksgiving, make your request known to Him.
Don’t let anxiety rule your life. Have faith in God. It is by faith we know without a doubt His Word is true! Well what is faith? “Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” He tells us “it is through faith that we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.” God’s Word is so profoundly deep. It is through the faith that God has instilled in us we know that His Word is true. It really isn’t about us. It’s all about Him! He even tells us that it is “impossible to please Him without faith.”
He says “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.” Hebrew 11:1
How can you be certain if you have real faith? Faith is not just some mysterious force. It is a gift from God.
The Christian life is a race. There are many things that come our way to distract us. Keep your eyes on Jesus.
Have you been eagerly waiting on the Lord to turn your situation around? Are you beginning to lose hope that it will never happen?
Today, exchange your anxiety for joy. Delight yourself in God’s Word. Try seeing things from His point of view. Sincerely draw near to God’s Word. Remember His covenant promises to His Children. God’s Word has cleansing power. God’s Word is true. God’s word will restore your faith and your joy.
Do you want the peace and joy that surpasses the understanding of man? Be anxious for nothing.
