Anxious

Psalm 46, Matthew 6:19-34, Philippians 4:6, I Peter 5:6,7

“God is a very present help in trouble.” Psalm 46:1

Being anxious is a waste of time. “Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?” Matthew 6:27

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God, and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Jesus Christ.” Philippians 4:6

“Therefore, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you.” I Peter 5:6,7

“The Lord shall fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.” How many times have we prayed to God to fix a problem for us, just to take it back and try to solve the problem ourselves? I for one am good at that, especially when it comes to my children. I have found that taking matters into my own hands messes things up more than before. God promises to fight our fight for us. He in return expects us to be quiet and let Him handle it the way He sees fit. I am extremely glad that God always has my best interest at heart and especially those of my loved ones. God is all-knowing. He sees how the problem started, why it happened and already knows the ending. We needn’t worry about how things are going to turn out when we hand our problems over to God. He promises that “all things turn out to the good for those who love the Lord.” Romans 8:28. I trust God to guide all my children to truth and understanding and in the end to everlasting life.

Please read the scriptures listed, study them, apply them to your life and grow in the saving relationship with Jesus Christ our Savior.
