Title: Be anxious for nothing
Post by: joyce robson on January 21, 2004, 04:16:47 PM
   Philippians 4:6-7 gives you this assurance: "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 comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

    The key is communication with God.

When you tell Him what is on your heart, He literally guards your heart with His supernatural peace.

The circumstances or problems that stimulate your anxiety may not change; He often chooses to let them remain. Yet at the same time He gives you the peace to go through the difficulty.

  God did not design you to be anxious or uptight. Your physical system may suffer many consequences when anxiety is prolonged, but more importantly, you suffer in your spirit.

Read carefully what Jesus said to the eager crowds as part of the Sermon on the Mount:

". . . [D]o not be anxious for your life, as to what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor for your body, as to what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body than clothing?

"Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? . . . Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin . . .

"But if God so arrays the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more do so for you, O men of little faith? . . .

"But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own" (Matthew 6:25-34).



May this help others as it helped me.

Love in Christ,

Joyce..

Thankyou for this.  It does fit because The Lord has been most gracious to me over the last two days...I was concerned about a matter and prayed and He dealt with it in a wonderful way.

He has provided, He does provide and He will provide...if we just Trust and Pray....

All Our Loving Father asks is that we talk to Him.  This is a two-way relationship.  If you don't ask you can't get...

        Above all... Be Expectant

                Miracles Abound
