Don't worry

This is from Philippians 4:6-7

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.

There are many things to be anxious about in my world and probably your world as well. So, how do we deal with it? The Bible offers some wise counsel as we face difficulty. As Paul wrote this, he was in prison. His words are practical because he was facing a grim future, yet he pens these profound words.

Notice that he never suggests IGNORING the issues you face. He says we need to push our worries onto God and allow Him to work! We can experience unbelievable peace if we hand God our worries. Try it today! My prayer is that God would show you how He is right with you in your trouble!
