Are you anxious today?
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, 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
Believing that God will direct your life according to His good purposes begins with a faithfulness to trust Him implicitly, without worrying about the results.
Oswald Chambers writes in My Utmost For His Highest: Having the reality of God’s presence is not dependent on our being in a particular circumstance or place, but is only dependent on our determination to keep the Lord before us continually. Our problems arise when we refuse to place our trust in the reality of His presence…
Our surest cure regarding being anxious is to pray about everything. This is not some generic kind of praying that leaves worry implanted, but a specific, bold prayer that lays our every concern before God and then stands on the sure promises of the Bible. “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him,a whob have been called according to his purpose” Rom. 8:28
Identify the sources of your anxiety and ask for God’s counsel to respond properly to each stress point. Know and claim his promises.
