VERSE:
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer
and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
-- Philippians 4:6
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Philippians+4:6
THOUGHT:
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.
PRAYER:
Father, I know you love me. You have done so much to bless and
save me. I deliberately place the worries and concerns of my heart
in your hands ... (Specifically mention the things that burden your
heart today.) Father, I also want to thank you for the many ways
you have blessed me over my life ... (Specifically mention
blessings you have received from God!) Now, dear Father, please
fill my heart with your Spirit and my mind with the sense of your
presence and peace. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
