DON’T WORRY, PRAY!

“DON’T BE INTIMIDATED IN ANY WAY BY YOUR ENEMIES.” PHILIPPIANS 1:28

” DON’T WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING; INSTEAD PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING.” PHILIPPIANS 4:6

” TELL GOD WHAT YOU NEED AND THEN THANK HIM FOR ALL HE HAS DONE.” PHILIPPIANS 4:6

Our faith in our God in heaven is the only answer to a long, successful and peaceful life. The world around us may be able to give us short term solutions to our problems and make us feel good for the short term but, if we truly are seeking long term peace, we must have a faith in our Lord that is unwavering. We must focus on the end result and not the problem at hand. If we continue to focus on our problems then we are susceptible to intimidation, fear, worry, doubt and anything else the world can throw at us. However, the end result includes our Lord Jesus. It includes the Holy Spirit who helps and guides us each day. I have found that as soon as I have a bad thought or a worry that jumps into my mind, I go directly to prayer. I have found that it is never good to entertain the bad thought, even for an instant. We are usually attacked at times when we are busy and don’t think of going to God in prayer. We should train ourselves to think of the Lord first in all situations, good or bad. We don’t have to be in a church to pray, or get on our knees, we just need to talk to him right then and there. We need to praise him and thank him for all he has done for us. When we do this, we will find that the worry, doubt and fear will quickly go away. If we allow the problem to remain it will linger with us and continue to grow and cause us more and more problems. Jesus loves us. He is with us to help us. We have to trust him to help and go to him and ask for the help. When we do our lives become so much more pleasant and joyful. We are overcomers is Christ! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
