Worry or Pray

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!
