Be in NOTHING anxious!

I went through a really tough time for the past few weeks. I had so many things to do, and so little time (right, that’s what they all say...) I started to develop fear and anxiety with regard to certain situations. I am a very controlled and calculated person, sometimes being just plainly a pain in the ass! But here I found myself in the most anxiety stricken state and I did not know how to make it stop. What it comes down to, is that, if I can't be in control of a situation I go banannas! Yes I am a control freak, and I'm not boasting about it, on the contrary! Being the responsible person that I am, I understand the word "dead line", but is seems to me that others are obliviously unaware that such a word actually exists. For me this was not even a situation God would be interested in, so I took it on myself to "save" the world and boy was that a disaster!

In my minds eye I could see God smiling gently at me, and whispering in my ear to go back to my “Ultimate Survival Guide on Earth”. It is really a good book! Very insightful and has answers to any questions you will ever have. So I went and just spent some time with my Heavenly Father, and read an amazing passage from Philippians 4:6 “In NOTHING be anxious; but in EVERYTHING by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let you requests be made known unto God…” Wow He is going to take care of everything and I needn’t be anxious about anything. It is actually a big sin to be fearful or anxious because then, in reality, we are telling God we don’t trust Him. We are telling the Creator of the universe – sorry I don’t trust you!

Think about your fears and anxieties and cast you burdens unto Jesus for He cares for you! Nothing is too big for Him.  Come in the habit of trusting God, no matter what the cost! Ask God to give you the gift of faith - faith isn't something we already have - It is a gift form God! Pray for that gift daily!

And if fear and anxiety strikes out of the blue, turn to nature to see how God cares for His creation, aren't we worth much more to Him?

May the peace of God, that surpasses all understanding be with you today, tomorrow and ALWAYS!

IN NOTHING BE ANXIOUS, BUT GO INTO GODS PERFECT REST!
