No Worries Mate

SCRIPTURE

Philippians 4:6-7

 

Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

 

 

PRAYER

Lord, you know that at times ______'s mind swirls with things over which she has no control; the future, other's thoughts, past events. And as her mind churns, her heart becomes anxious with worry, consternating over things for which she is not responsible, things that she can never change. Lord, I ask that you would draw her heart into that peaceful place of prayer. I pray that ______ would be moved to take each and every individual worry, and come to you with a very specific request. May she ask you to prevent that which she worries might be, to make true that which she worries might never be. Permeate her prayers with gratitude for the goodness you lavished upon her, and so fortify her prayers with faith in your continued graciousness. And if anxiety presses, may her prayers press more. May she linger in this place until anxiety dissolves into peace. Lord, take away every ripple of her heart, and make her as calm as a mountain lake on a still morning. Amaze her with your peace, Lord, and by it guard her mind from the chaotic swirl, and her heart from the burdensome weight. Garrison her about with a legion of calming angels, assuring her of your fatherly care. And may she hear once again your voice whispering in her ear, "I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you." Amen

 

ENCOURAGEMENT

Remember, one day your heart WILL say, "Today is turning out to be much better than tomorrow was going to be yesterday." One day. One day.
