WORRY

“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”

John 14:27 KJV

Jesus gives us peace and He also wants us to be happy.  We read in the Bible.  “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10).  Yet, many times we make our own unhappiness because we don’t trust.

I used to worry about things all the time.  However, I realized that God does not need my help to fix a situation.  He wants me to pray but then get out of the way and allow Him to do what needs to be done.  We should be concerned and pray but we should also trust God to work in the situation.

We need to realize that God loves our family and our loved ones more than we do so we can trust Him to do what needs to be done.  Now when I pray about something, I don’t worry about it like I used to do.  We should be concerned and it’s okay to cry but we need to trust Him.

Heavenly Father, I pray for all who are broken hearted, discouraged, lonely and for those who are sick and need Your healing touch.  How wonderful it is to know that You really love us and care about us.  Thank You for loving me.  I love You, Heavenly Father.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
