Today’s Encouragement is, “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 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.” Philippians 4:6-7 NLT
Pray About Everything –
Prayer is the antidote to worry. We cannot worry when we are praying, in faith, trusting and believing that God hears, cares, and loves us! It is impossible to worry when we pray in faith.
Replace the word ‘worry’ with whatever your struggle may be. It might be fear, grief, depression, despair, hopelessness, self-pity, or any other destructive thoughts or emotions. Whatever that struggle is, the antidote is Prayer!
These are all internal issues, which reside within our hearts and minds, and they are all destructive! And this passage explains that, instead of harboring or holding onto them, we can choose God’s Peace! We can put our hearts and minds into God’s hands when we turn away from Worry (insert your battle here) and pray about everything, tell God what we need, and thank Him.
There is no ‘maybe’ here. This is God’s Word, His promise to all who trust Him, who believe in Christ! We are His dearly loved people!
Thank You, Father, for every precious promise You have given us! Thank you for the incredible privilege of prayer, the permission to come to You about everything at any time, in any circumstance! And as we trust in You, thanking You for hearing our prayer, we can then rest in Your Perfect Peace! You are so very Good!
I Trust Jesus
