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, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (NASB)
He wants us to trust Him and we should. He is totally in control.
So, when worry digs its way into my imperfect mind I am committing to hand it over in faith to my all powerful Lord. What a blessing of peace He offers. God is good, He doesn't want us to be anxious. Instead, He wants us to pray about everything and give us His perfect peace. That is a good trade, worry for incomprehensible peace!
I seek to turn any hint of worry into praises and glory to my sovereign God for His goodness. Sometimes I have to do this over and over. Often, it takes a while for me to surrender my thoughts to Him. I know I will never be perfect but by the grace of God I have hope to grow in this area in my life. Only because of Jesus can I have this hope.
2 Corinthians 12:9
