Interesting that the scriptures where God talks about worry and struggles seem to be such
popular verses.
Listen to Philippians 4:6-7 …
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need,
and 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. (NLT)
So let’s get this straight, shall we? What does it say we are to not worry about?
Anything.
What are we supposed to do instead? Pray. … Pray about what? Everything.
So we are told to turn our worries into prayers. Tell God exactly what we need.
Sounds simple, right?
Listen to these verses in The Message …
Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your
worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a
sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and
settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the
center of your life.
So if we shape our worries into prayers, then we can experience God’s peace and
wholeness … even if we can’t understand how that happens, we just have to do
it.
Right now, what’s an anxious thought, a deep worry, that you need to shape into a
prayer? To just tell God exactly what you need and don’t need?
Let’s pray together: “Heavenly Father, right now, that thing that is absolutely
stressing me out, that thing that I know my child is dealing with, I give it to
you. Take it. I want trade it for your peace. Now, please guard my heart and my
mind from taking it back. As above, so below.”
