It's hard not to worry sometimes. With all of the pressures and problems
we face from day to day, worry is the natural response. But there is a
solution. The best cure for worry is prayer!
Philippians 4:6 tells us, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in
everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to
God. And the God of peace, which transcends all understanding, will guard your
hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
When we come up against hard times, such as an illness or financial
situation, we may not know where to turn. The situation may seem hopeless, but
we have a God who cares for us and can handle any problem we have. Instead of
worrying, the best thing is to take it to God in prayer.
Through prayer, we renew our trust in God's faithfulness. If you have
served the Lord for any length of time, I'm sure you've seen Him come through
for you time after time. He'll come through for you again! God is faithful.
He's not caught off guard by our problems. He wants us to come to Him and cast
all our cares on Him.
When we pray, God's peace comes to guard our hearts and minds, and we
receive grace and help in our time of trouble. We are assured that in all
things God is working for our good.
When we give our worries to God in prayer, His peace will flood our
troubled minds. It is the assurance that Jesus is near and God's power is at
work in our lives. This peace will comfort us, preventing the cares and
heartaches of this world from dominating our lives and undermining our faith in
God.
If fear and worry continue, prayer will once again place us under the peace
of God that guards our hearts. Once more, we will be at peace knowing God has
everything under control. So cast your cares on Him today because He cares for
you!
