Philippians 4:6

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."

- Philippians 4:6 NIV

When I read this verse I think about the worries of life that can come up. Things like a vehicle breaking down or how are we going to replace a broken appliance. While these things can keep us up at night we need to remember that God is in control. We should bring our cares and requests to Him and trust that He will provide. I pray that we will always remember to bring whatever may be bothering us to God.

God Bless

Pray, Don’t Worry

Have you ever worried about stuff that’s out of your control? This past week I started a devotional through the Bible app called “Grow In Prayer!” by Greg Laurie. On the first day Greg says that worry can be a sin, it’s not all the time but can become it, because it’s showing that we have a lack of trust in God. He says that when you worry you are saying:

“God isn’t in control. He isn’t taking care of me in this situation. I’m not trusting in the providence of God.”

“Grow In Prayer!” – Greg Laurie

God does care about us and He is in control. We just need to trust in Him and give our worries to God.

"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 NIV 

Many things can happen to us or around us. Maybe you are still out of job or have your hours drastically cut because of Covid. Maybe a loved one is sick or a child has turned at from God. No matter what it may be you can always turn to God with trust and prayer. He will be there for you, it may not be in the way you expect but He will be there. I challenge you to turn to God in prayer when worry starts to set in. See how God can help improve your situation through your prayers

God Bless

Thought Of The Day: 02/16/21

Are prayers powerful? In life I’m sure we have all prayed at least one prayer asking God for help in something or maybe to receive something. I’ve prayed many prayers either for myself or for some one else. There can be times when prayers are answered right away and times when it may take a little longer. Maybe you are still praying about something and are still waiting. Know that God hears your prayers and knowing what is best for us will answer them at the right moment. So remember….

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”
