 In nothing be anxious — but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God, and the peace of God which passes all understanding will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
—Philippians 4:5, 6
We are God’s children, if we’ve been born again and have His Holy Spirit living within to cheer and to guide. We’re heaven bound, our sins are forgiven. We’re part of the great army of believers who’ve been bought and cleansed by the precious blood of Christ Jesus.
So why do we worry and rush about and take on so much anxiety?
Here’s the solution: Stop groaning and start glorifying! Pray God’s promises and receive God’s power for these trying times. Pray with thanksgiving not with grumbling and complaining. He has saved us from hell! He has given us His Living Word to show us the way through the maze of life.
Pray in faith casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. Put on a smiling face and count your many blessings. Take time to be still and know Him. Enjoy solitude, sunshine and silence. God’s peace will surround you, O precious child of the soon-coming King! Be glad and sing!
Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
— Psalm 37:4
