Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.
PHILIPPIANS 4:6 NKJV
"We live in a fast-paced, stress-inducing, anxiety-filled world that oftentimes seems to shift beneath our feet. Sometimes, trusting God is difficult, especially when we become caught up in the incessant demands of an anxious world.
When feel stressed to the breaking point - and you will - return your thought to God's love and God's promises. And as you confront the challenges of everyday living, turn all your concerns over to your Heavenly Father.
The same God who created the universe will comfort and guide you if you ask Him ...so ask Him. Then watch in amazement as you melt into the warmth of His loving hands." p136
"Worry and anxiety are sand in the machinery of life; faith is the oil." - E. STANLEY JONES p136
"We must lay our questions, frustration, anxieties, and importance at the feet of God and wait for His answer. And then receiving it, we must live by faith." - KAY ARTHUR p137
"So often we pray and then fret anxiously, waiting for God to hurry up and do something. All the while God is waiting for us to calm down, so He can do something through us." - CORRIE TEN BOOM p137
"The fierce grip of panic need not immobilise you. God knows no limitation when it comes to deliverance. Admit your fear. Commit it to Him. Dump the pressure on Him. He can handle it." - CHARLES SWINDOLL p137
TODAY'S PRAYER
Lord, sometimes this world is a difficult place, and, as a frail human being, I am fearful. When I am worried, restore my faith. When I am anxious, turn my thoughts to You. When I grieve, touch my heart with Your enduring love. And, keep me mindful, Lord, that nothing, absolutely nothing, will happen this day that You and I cannot handle together. Amen
