Hi friends,
When I was a kid, I used to hear my dear dad remind people, "Don't Live Worried". Even in seasons of intense stress, he would constantly smile and say, "God created us to trust in Him!" As I got older, anxiety troubled me, too, so he would leave sticky notes on my door, car, or window that just said, "DLW!" with a happy face.
Can we really do that? Just not live worried by all the troubles around us? Yes! We can be aware, prepare, and yet not be weighed down, anxious, and distressed because God is in control and He's good!
The world around us can swirl with unrest about what's going on, what looks like it'll happen, and what's rumored to be coming down the pike — that's normal for unbelievers — but, as followers of the one, true, living, powerful Rock of Ages, we were created to trust in Him and live joyfully!
If we haven't already, let's memorize Philippians 4:6-7:
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds through Christ Jesus.
Check out these titles to turn your worry into peace.
