Thank you for joining me ! I hope you have that coffee or drink of choice ready. Mine is with some heavy cream. Deep breath in and enjoy.
Today I just want to share with you a recurring thought that has come up in several conversations this past week.
How many of us give God our worries to the Lord on a regular basis?
Giving them to God is not the hard part, the hard part is leaving them there.(at least for me and most of the other men and women I have talked to this week.)
Matthew 6:35 says: “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself.
1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
Is is very easy to say Lord I am giving this worry, care, sin over to you right now. When we walk away do we really leave it there or do we pick it back up and carry it with us.
I have had to work on this and am sure I will continue to do so.
When we struggle we have several option:
- Biblical truths speak the truth of God. Read the word of God!
- Pray with complete faith that God will answer our prayers.
- Worship with song
- Have a friend pray with us.
- Remind your self of a time in the pasts God has taken care of you.
I hope some one is encouraged by my thoughts today. I know I have a Lord that has our best interests at heart. He carries us through troubling times, if we let him.
Be blessed and may we all give our worries to God and leave them there.
