Philippians 4:6 (NIV)
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every
situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to
God.
Anxiety is worry over things which we cannot control and
which we do not remove from our thoughts. Anxiety dominates and controls a
passive mind and a troubled heart, filling both with doubt, fear, and dread.
But, anxiety cannot be removed; it must be replaced. We remove our anxiety by
giving our concerns and worries to the Lord, trusting him to care for us. Then,
as we give him thanks for what he has done and what he is doing in our lives,
we replace those concerns and worries with a genuine sense of his presence. As
a result, our confidence in his future for us can return.
Thought for today:
Do I trust God or give in to worry on a regular basis?
