We stand on the brink of another President being sworn in to office tomorrow. What does the world hold for us? So many question people are asking. The economy is struggling.. new leadership is taking place...  what are we going to do? Everyone seems to have opinion about how to correct every problem. One thing is for certain. God has neither moved nor changed and when  we know Him the future cannot harm us. 
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!
