WORRY NO MORE ! - GOD IS WORKING FOR YOU! Part I


When we worry we are saying we don’t trust in God’s care.  

Read Matthew 6:25-30

Worry does not provide us with anything for our own growth.  If we do not believe that God cares for and helps us, then we could be in danger of becoming overburden and anxious.  

The life God calls us to is much more than a daily struggle for daily necessities.  We only need to look at how God has provided for His creation to know that he will also take care of us. When we believe and trust God, we know and believe God will take care of us. If God looks after the small and fragile parts of His creation to make sure everything is daily provided for, the question is, why can’t we trust God to show the same care for us every day? 

God is working for you not against you. Think about this fact.  Your life is in God's hand. You cannot depend upon the heart of man. A man's heart is fickle and uncertain.  And, do you think Satan will really help you? Of course not! Satan came to steal, kill, and destroy.  Satan looks to devour us by weakening us with anxiety/worry. This wears us down physically and emotionally, making us weaker and weaker in both soul and body. Sometimes we become so physically weak in our mind we cannot move. We may even become depressed and mentally unstable. 

Satan attacks his prey when they are weak, never when they are strong. 

When our thoughts and energies become consumed by worrying over our needs, then we are really are no better than people who do not know God and the goodness of God.  Jesus calls for us to have confidence in our Heavenly Father’s knowledge of our needs and His care.  Do you have faith in the goodness of God and in His ability to provide?  

David said in Psalm 56:8 that God keeps track of all our sorrows. He has collected all our tears in his bottle. He has recorded each one in his book. Then he states, "This I know God is on my side!"

Do you know this?  Do you know that God is on your side? He asked us not to worry.  

 Actually, Jesus told us in Luke 21:14, "But make up your mind NOT to worry beforehand..."" 

This means we can control our emotions and make up your mind not to worry.   After all these years, I finally have. I refuse to let what I feel control my thoughts and take over my life.  I take it to the LORD in prayer. Every concern I  now place in his hands to sustain and keep me  and my family until the very end.

We are not to be anxious about anything but in everything, pray and petition God with thanksgiving and our requests.  

The only way to know God is on your side is to trust and obey Him. We you trust  him and believe, He will answer.  I believe that God will answer in one of three ways; Yes, Wait, or I have something better!

May you experience the Goodness of God;

Turning Your Pain into Power

Image
  "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore,  for the former things have passed away (R evelation 21:4 ESV)." T he journey of life has many twists and turns. There are times when a turn leads us to a place of pain. But, we have the ability to used that pain to catapult ourselves to the place of power. The loss of my younger sister was very painful. She unexpectedly died. I was hurt, cried for days, and thought my chest would burst open from the pain of her departure to be with Jesus.  Not only was she my sister, but my friend. Someone you couldn't help but love! She was loving, kind, compassionate, and caring.  I don't know a sweeter person than my sister, Janice (or JanBaby as our family referred to her).  She started singing at the age of three. You could feel the power of her love deep in your soul, down to your "bones", when she lifted her voice, and breathed ...

God Doesn't Err and Trouble Doesn't Last Always

Your life has many winding roads and complicated stops.   Jesus said, "I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world (John 16:33)." When you read the verse, your thought might be, "If Jesus has overcome the world, why does my world feels so broken?" In t he circle of life we have beginnings, endings, and everything in between.  The ebbs  and flows of life bring waters of both joy and pain. But, with God's guiding hands, it flows in a way that moves us upstream to a place of peace, blessings, rest and trust.  You may walk through the great darkness ravine, but you will get through it, because God's got you!    We are overcomers in mind, spirit and soul. Whatever you are going through, it too shall pass.  L ife may not be fair, but God is fair.  Psalm 56 , the psalmist declares to God, “ You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle...

The Reward of Persistent Prayer

Image
    [Jeremiah 29:12-13 (CJB)]: "When you call to me and pray to me, I will listen to you. When you seek me, you will find me, provided you seek from me wholeheartedly;" Dear Ladies, I write this blog with you and the many prayers that you have prayed in mind. Luke 18:2-5] "In a certain town, there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected other people. There was also in that town a widow who kept coming to him and saying, 'Give me a judgment against the man who is trying to ruin me.' For a long time he refused; but after awhile, he said to himself, 'I don't fear God, and I don't respect other people; but because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see to it that she gets justice - otherwise, she'll keep coming and pestering me till she wears me out!"  God is not a cruel judge. When we persist in prayer, we are not pestering Him! Jesus told his disciple this parable, in order to impress on them that they   must always keep praying   a...
