Don’t Worry About Anything
Philippians 4:6,7 (NLT) “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.”
Worry is thinking about future events that haven’t happened yet, and what YOU will do if they do. Did you know worry is about thinking about yourself and your own abilities? Anxiety and panic occur if you don’t know what to do when the event occurs. Worry, anxiety, panic, and fear are all thoughts that keep you locked in a cage that you created. Yes, you created the cage. The enemy may have given you the thoughts, but you accepted the package, opened it, and placed it on your fireplace mantel so you won’t miss it as you walk by.
Focusing on yourself creates these negative thoughts and emotions. Here is the way out of your cage:
- Don’t worry about anything – Stop your mind from dwelling on negative thoughts.
- Pray about everything – Go to the Heavenly throne room to get help.
- Tell God what you need – Hand over your fears, anxiety, panic, and worries to God.
- Thank Him for all He has done – Show appreciation for what God has previously done for you.
By doing these things, God promises to give you the following:
- You will experience God’s peace – You were trying to obtain peace on your own.
- God’s peace is beyond your understanding – You will be calm without explanation.
- Your spirit and mind will be protected – God’s peace guards you and prevents negative thoughts from returning.
Humans tend to try to figure out everything. We look for what is wrong and try to fix it. When we don’t see the solution, that’s when the prison cage gets built. He is a question for you. Are you trying to fix your own problems? Are you stuck worrying over things and not seeing the solution? Have you prayed, but at the end of the prayer you pick up your problems from the altar and carry them on your shoulders again? If you answered yes to all the questions, you are thinking a lot about yourself and not allowing God to control your situation fully. You need to say out loud, “Lord, I trust you! I don’t understand everything, but I trust you! And I give everything over to you.”
Give God all your worries. Tell Him what you need. He wants to hear from you!
Be Blessed!
