EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:
We often hear that we are not to be anxious about anything when we are in Jesus. But every day, people worry about their life in one way or another, and the cycle goes on. It’s easy to say, “Don’t worry,” but we do? We worry, worry, and worry some more!
We all need to move away from the anxiety of life towards the peace of God, but how?
Scripture reminds us:
“I refuse to worry about anything. I will, instead, pray about everything. I’ll take every chance I get to tell God what I need, and I won’t forget to thank him for all He has done. God promised me that as I trust Him, I will experience His peace in increasing measures. His peace is profound and unfathomable and exceeds anything I can understand; still, it’s mine, so I trust Him. As I turn my back on worry and turn my heart toward Jesus, His peace will guard my heart and mind as I live in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6-7 paraphrased)
May God give us fresh breakthroughs of healing that take away the anxious thoughts in our storms. Oh, how He loves you and wants your heart to turn towards Him in communication of your anxieties.
Stand on God’s promises which are true. Know that eternity is your destiny, and think long and hard with eternity on your mind when it comes to your fears and worries. The unrest is only an agitation which you should use to draw closer to God than you ever have been before.
When you sturdy yourself in Christ, your life becomes a secure fortress of declaring God’s truth over your heart and therefore becomes unpenetrable.
“Be strong and courageous! The Lord is with you wherever you go!” (Joshua 1:9)
Allow bold faith to speak to your heart on the days you are filled with worry or anxious thoughts.
