Philippians 4:6-7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
It is time for me to remind myself of Truth! You are welcome to read along if you like.
I have the choice to worry or to pray, I can have stress or peace, I can trust myself or God.
The choices seem obvious, so why do I worry? Why the stress? Why not trust God? You may be different, but I often forget obvious Truth, I need to be reminded. This is not a suggestion but a command, Be anxious for Nothing!
So what should I be anxious about right now? Should my list include my finances, my past, my future, my job, my family, my health, my relationships, my schedule? Should my list include all of your problems as well? How about the problems of government, the world, the church, the future of the planet? You would think with a list that long I must be God, herein lies the problem, I have forgotten I am not God! Obvious Truth!
Just for the next few moments I am going to move these things on my list over to His and I will leave NOTHING on my list! I trust my list of problems isn't too big for God to handle, I'll leave them all to Him. I challenge you to add to His list today.
Thank you Father God for Peace!

What do you want to ask God?
If you could ask God any question and you knew He would answer, what would you ask?
As I ask people what they would ask God, the questions for God are really amazing, they often don't seem to have an answer.
The nice thing about asking the question is, I don't have to have the answers, I am not God. I just know there is a God.( For some of you the question may be how do I know there is a God?)
Through the process, I have discovered most of the answers can be found as we consider the attributes of God spelled out in the Word. As we consider that God is infinite, good, just, merciful, gracious, holy, perfect to name a few of His attributes, we discover the answers to many of our questions.
What is your question for God? I challenge you to open the Bible, find what the Word reveals about God and most likely you will have your answer. If not, let me know, I love the process of getting to know God through the questions we have about Him.
