Praying and Thanking (2)

Dearly beloved, I trust this finds you well and bubbling in the Lord. We thank God because He is faithful and dependable. Has something got you worried, concerned, disheartened, and down? What would God have you do about it? He wants you to pray about it; not to keep worrying. Philippians 4v6-7 says “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs, and don’t forget to thank him for his answers. If you do this, you will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus.”

Hallelujah. God cares about us and wants to help us through whatever might be of concern for us. 1 Peter 5v7 (AMPC) says “Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully.” Psalm 55v22 (AMPC) also gives us this assurance “Cast your burden on the Lord [releasing the weight of it] and He will sustain you; He will never allow the [consistently] righteous to be moved (made to slip, fall, or fail).” Do you have cares? Why don’t you take it to the Lord now?

Prayer

Talk to the Lord in your own words about whatever might be of concern to you, and thank Him for hearing and answering you.
