No worries!

"Be anxious for nothing."

Something we've heard quite often. But do we often pay attention to the rest of this verse? "but in everything by PRAYER and SUPPLICATION, with THANKSGIVING let your requests be known to God."

I feel it so easy to go circumstance by circumstance and hope for things to happen. If it does, well its God's will. If it doesnt, why not God? And I go on, anxious, dwelling on these things, being miserable. But how often do I really sit with my Lord, and make my requests known, ask for His will to be done, and thank Him that He has a perfect plan for my life? Instead, I want answers now! Take things into my own hands, and really never truly ask Him. And the thing is, is that when You ask Him, you find yourself at His feet, and you know that He is walking with you, so you have nothing to worry about. And He will take all the worry away,

"And the peace of God, that passes all comprehension, will GUARD your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." - Phil 4:6-7

So, tonight Lord, I lay my request down at Your feet. You have told me to wait. And you have told me through Your word. Guard my heart and my mind. Thank you for guiding me and giving me hope. Your will be done.
