Be Anxious for Nothing

Throughout scriptures we are told over and over not to let the cares of this world cause our faith and testimony to be compromised in how we react to situations. The way we respond shows the depth of our trust in the One we call Lord and Savior.

If we act like the unbelieving world does in handling problems, they will have no reason to trust God for anything.  Basically, without words we're really saying He isn't a powerful loving God and can't do squat! 

With everything that's been happening in this world lately, it's hard focusing on the promises of God.  Our thoughts continually try to take us off the Word, especially when the pressures of daily living are uncertain.  We don't have to accept what the world says about our future!  God has already given us His Word on what to do.

Philippians 4:6-7 reminds us not to be anxious, fret or worry over anything and to let the peace of God rule over our thoughts.  We do this by going to the Lord in prayer and believing He will handle each request in a manner that best fits our need(s).

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."

I would expect that means the little things as well, don't you?  So, casting our cares on the Lord would be right in the middle of that mi I'd say!

"Casting all your cares (all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all) on Him, for He cares about you (with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully)." (1 Peter 5:7 AMP)

Knowing that God has things under control with His peace and favor (not ours) surrounding us, we need to fervently guard our emotions when fear or anxiety tries to overtake us.  Be encouraged my friend and rest (comfortably) in His ability to work things out for the good of those who love Him.

"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose." (Romans 8:28 KJV)
