Anxious for nothing
Philippians 4:6-7(NKJV)
6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
don’t be anxious about anything
pray with a humble heart, be thankful
share the desires of my heart with God
Then a promise is made. The peace of God will come upon me and guard my heart. Not only does he say he will give me peace but he reminds me that this peace will surpass all understanding. That it will be so real and so humbling that my human brain will not understand it.
Here is my battle with being anxious. I have not been trusting that God will provide in this upcoming year. I have been putting God in a box and I have not allowed him to move freely in my life. I have $5,080 dollars to raise within a few months and I’ve felt very discouraged. I have not seen fruit from the labor I’ve put in. That might just be the problem, I have been doing all the work and I have not let God lift this burden. This anxiety has caused me to become physically sick. I have experienced extreme exhaustion, hours of paralyzing panic, and breathing issues. God here is my surrender, my white flag, my olive branch, and my prayer.
I trust that you are good. I trust that you provide. You have never failed me, and you never will. I ask that you would remove all anxiety from my life, that I would live out Philippians 4:6, and be anxious for nothing. I ask that your peace would come over me and it would guard my heart. I do not need to understand the way you work, but I know it is good. Lord, walk me through the humility of trusting you. I thank you for the provision you have over my life. I thank you for the prayer warriors fighting for me every day. I thank you that you never give up on me. I thank you that you walk me through things that are hard, and holy, but it only breeds intimacy. Amen.
