The Lady of Shallot , John William WaterhouseThis week - Philippians 4:6-7
"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer
and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be
made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses
all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be
made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses
all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Anxious for nothing. It's hard, isn't it? Hardly can we let a day pass without worrying over something or other. And does it improve the circumstances? Of course not, for "which of you can by being anxious can add a single cubit to his life's span?" (Matthew 6:27) None can. Anxiety only increases life's troubles, deepens sorrow, and compromises physical health.
So bringing our requests to God remains the only thing to be done. However, this supplication must be accompanied by thanksgiving. For what is ours that has not been given to us? (I Corinthians 4:7) Be thankful that you have family or events or things to worry about! Just giving it all up to the Lord takes a load of cares away. And what could be more comforting than 'the peace of God'?

Your so right.
All we have to do is remember that God's in control of everything and we will be fine.
