How can you live in peace and don't worry?
God never asks us to do anything that He doesn't empower us to do. In Philippians the bible says that Paul tells us, "Do not be anxious about anything."The word Anxious means, to be pulled in different directions. English root word from which we get our word "worry" meaning to strangle. Worry can strangle us, but trust breaks the hold of worry in our lives. Worry is a control issue. Its opposite is trust. Choose to trust and you will not worry. Choose to worry and you will not trust.
What a great promise is found in Isaiah 26:3 "You, Lord, give true peace to those who depend on you,because they trust you." Every opportunity to worry is also an opportunity to trust God. Choose trust!
What are you worry about?
What fear is gripping your heart?
Take action! Claim God's promises for you, exchange your worries for God's gift of peace!
Today I choose to face my fears with prayer and in doing so I will declare my trust in Jesus. Casting all my care on Him because He cares for me!
Make It A good Day!
