Do not be anxious about anything <\/span>
\nbut in everything
\nby prayer and petition <\/span>with thanksgiving
\npresent your requests to God.<\/span>
\nPhilippians 4:6<\/span><\/p>\n

* \u00a0~ \u00a0\u2665 \u00a0~ \u00a0\u271e \u00a0~ \u00a0\u2665 \u00a0~ \u00a0*<\/span><\/p>\n

Brethren, the essential cure for worry is prayer. \u00a0And here are the \u00a0following reasons… Through prayer<\/p>\n

1) we renew our trust in the Lord\u2019s faithfulness by casting all our anxieties and problems on Him who cares for us<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

…Casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.
\n1 Peter 5:7<\/p>\n

Matthew 6:25 \u2013 34<\/a><\/p>\n

2) God\u2019s peace comes to guard our hearts and minds as a result of our communion with Christ Jesus<\/p>\n

Then God\u2019s peace,
\nwhich goes far beyond anything we can imagine,
\nwill guard your hearts and minds
\nin union with the Messiah Jesus.
\nPhilippians 4:7<\/p>\n

You keep him in perfect peace<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>whose mind is stayed on You,<\/span><\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>because he trusts in You.
\n<\/span><\/span>Isaiah 26:3<\/p>\n

Colossians 3:15<\/a><\/p>\n

3) God strengthens us to do all the things He desires of us<\/p>\n

I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.
\nPhilippians 4:13<\/p>\n

4) we receive mercy grace and help in time of need<\/p>\n

Therefore let us draw near with confidence
\nto the throne of grace,
\nso that we may receive mercy
\nand find grace to help in time of need.
\nHebrews 4:16<\/p>\n

5) we are assured that in all things God works for our good<\/p>\n

I am not saying this because I am in any need,
\nfor I have learned to be content in whatever situation I am in.
\nPhilippians 4:11<\/p>\n

And we know that God causes all things to work together for good
\nto those who love God,
\nto those who are called according to His\u00a0purpose.
\nRomans 8:28<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Therefore, I urge each one of us not to murmur and worry when we face the \u00a0adversaries of this life. \u00a0Take it to God in prayer. \u00a0He is the Author and Finisher of our faith. \u00a0And there is nothing hard for him. \u00a0All things are possible. \u00a0Remember He has all the power to change any situation. \u00a0He was able to part the Red Sea for the Israelites to pass through; is it impossible for Him to take care of that problem you have? \u00a0He was able to calm the storms; do you think He can\u2019t calm your storms? \u00a0Remember He never changes. \u00a0He is always the same… yesterday, today, and forever. \u00a0Whatever He says He will do, He will do it. \u00a0He said to cast all your cares to Me and I will take care of you. \u00a0And He will.<\/p>\n

* \u00a0~ \u00a0\u2665 \u00a0~ \u00a0\u271e \u00a0~ \u00a0\u2665 \u00a0~ \u00a0*<\/span><\/p>\n

Dear Lord, we bless You, we glorify Your Name for there is not any other God besides You. \u00a0You are the great I AM, the immortal, the \u00a0invisible, the One who is sovereign. \u00a0We bless You for You are God. We thank You for the everlasting love and mercy You shower upon us. We give You all the praise, Lord. \u00a0Thank You for Your Word that shows us Your lovingkindness for as long as You shall take care of our petitions; we see Your greatness, dear Lord. We thank You for taking care of our anxieties. \u00a0Help us, Lord, to trust You with our lives and everything about us more and more in Jesus’ name. \u00a0We give You all the praise and all the glory. \u00a0Thank You, Father, for answering our prayers. \u00a0In Jesus’ name I have prayed. \u00a0Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
