DON’T WORRY; BE HAPPY

Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? And if worry can’t accomplish a little thing like that, what’s the use of worrying over bigger things [Luke 12:25-26 (NLT)]

Lord, help us give up the false belief that we’re the ones in control of tomorrow and that we’re the only ones who can solve its problems. Remind us of your love and that your ways are infinitely higher and better than ours so that we will truly trust that the future is safely in your loving (and capable) hands.

THE PREREQUISITE FOR PEACE

You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you. [Isaiah 26:3 (NLT)]

“Oh, Lord,” I complain, “My heart is troubled, where is this peace you promise?”

“Foolish child,” He responds, “Where is the trust in me that is the requirement for that peace?”

Trust in The Lord always, for the Lord God is the eternal rock.” [Isaiah 26:4 (NLT)]

MY GOD, MY ROCK

I love you, Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my Savior, my God, my rock in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the strength of my salvation, my stronghold. [Psalm 18:1-2 (GW)]

Isn’t it nice knowing that we don’t have to do it all on our own? We don’t have to save ourselves, carry the burdens of others or solve the world’s problems alone! We have a rock on which to lean, a shield to protect us, a source of strength to endure all things, and a place of safety in which to find comfort. Thank you God for being our Rock!
