The Cure for Worry
Philippians 4:6–7
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, thank him for all he has done. 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 anything that drains your joy. It is something you can’t change, something you’re not responsible for, something you can’t control, something (or someone) that scares and torments you, or keeps you up at night.
God has a special recipe for eliminating worries. If you can follow it, you’ll be living a worry-free life.
Here it is:
WORRY ABOUT NOTHING,
PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING
Since you can’t fix the thing that worries you, why not move the items on your worry list to your prayer list?
Give each worry, one by one, to God. Set them free, and let God be in charge!
Dear Father in Heaven, glory to Your name. Thank you for caring about my worries. Help us to weather storms, seek peace and love, and to trust you with the things that sap our joy. In Jesus’ name I pray, AMEN.
