Pray more, worry less
Philippians 4: 4-7 "Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I say,
Rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but be present
your requests to God in everything by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will
guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. "
A study on
the things which people care more, revealed that 40% of people worry about
things that never happen. Another 30% of people worry about things that
can not be changed to worry about them. 12% of the concerns are
unwarranted concerns about health problems. Another 10% of all
the worries are about insignificant things, things like: I turned off the
lights? Did I feed the dog?
Give the care of the Lord, Now, if you're doing the math, that means that
92% of the things we worry not worth the emotional effort. So why worry? 1 Peter 5: 7 "Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that
he may lift you up in due time; Cast all
your anxiety on him because he cares for you. "
Taking
something to be on you and throw up someone else requires action. It is exactly
what God asks us to do with our afanes. Rather than put up with them ourselves,
asks us to do something, not be we worry
for them, but to let on it and not just a few travails, only the most
important, but ALL OUR CARES. "ALL YOUR CARES ABOUT ECHA him because he
cares for you" says the Word. In addition, elsewhere it says:
The writer,
Stanley Jones said: "The concern
is the interest we pay today for the problems that will arise in the
morning." So the next time the concern touch to your door, it would be
good to remember that God takes no surprise, and that you can always lean on
Him through prayer.
Put all your cares and burdens on Him. God cares for us. As you can see, God
is not waiting to punish you water it. His deep desire is to connect with you
and accompany you through the ups and downs of life. Psalm 55:22 "Cast your
burden on the Lord and he will sustain
you; He shall never suffer the righteous. "
So we should
not be anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer that our requests be
made known to God. The guaranteed result of these instructions is in verse 7 Philippians 4, where we are promised
that if we keep "the peace of God, which surpasses all
understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Faith specializes in the invisible and
holds the promises that God speaks,
