“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” Philippians 4:6 NLT
I have read this verse hundreds, if not thousands, of times, and I love it. But when I read it today, two words stood out so clearly. ANYTHING and EVERYTHING.
If you’re like me, it doesn’t come naturally to not worry at all - there’s always something on our minds!! I don’t know when we stop worr.... being concerned for our children - it can feel like the responsible thing for us to do!!
Pastor Patrick spoke about Joy this weekend - and I was thinking as I listened that for me, the opposite of worry is Joy. The biggest change I have experienced this year is a huge move in the direction of not worrying, which is a little incredible considering my health situation! 🙂 But I know it is due to the power of prayer - people praying for us, God showing Himself to be so REAL in this season, and growing in my trust in Him. What a gift!
I just want to encourage any friends who are worrying today - He loves you and He knows your situation. He can be trusted.
