Do Not Be Anxious

 

     Many of the verses I have memorized come to my heart again and again as I journey through life. Do you have verses to comfort, to guide, to remind you of God’s love, to worship, to intercede for a friend or loved one? Scripture is alive and powerful. Speak it out loud. Read it over and over. Learn from Genesis to Revelation. Believe every word. All of God’s promises have and will come to pass.

     I have shared these verses over and over again with others and they mean a lot to me and to our daughter, Angela. (She inherited the anxiety gene) When anxiety strikes in the night, these words have comforted us and we rely on God’s Word to ease our panic.

     He understands and He brings peace back to our minds and our hearts. Rely on these words as you face worries and doubt.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7

     The peace that transcends all understanding, guarding our hearts and our minds. I can use that today. How about you?

Jesus,

We come to You with the worries in life. We bring our requests to the throne room, with thanksgiving, knowing that You are working it all out. Guard our hearts and minds today.

Amen
