No Need To Worry

October 01, 2025

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." Philippians 4:6 (ESV)

There are going to be things that we all are going to worry about. When we worry it can cause all types of problems for us, because when we worry too much it can cause us to become sick and before we know it we are not only worrying, now we are sick. Many things we worry about we cannot change, but that does not stop us from worrying. As Christians when worry arises in our lives, we should at that very moment begin to pray about what we are worried about. The Scripture reminds us not to be anxious for anything, but by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving make our request known to God. I encourage you today not to worry about things you cannot change, and instead of worrying thank God for all the great things He has done in your life. Instead of worrying, pray and seek God's face about what you are going through, and watch your anxiety subside. No matter what it is you are facing, you can take it to The Lord in prayer and let Him know what it is you are going through, and turn your worry into thanksgiving, and The Lord will see you through it all. Life has its share of ups and downs, but through them all you can make it with God on your side. No matter what it is that I may be facing in life, I will not worry about what I cannot change, but instead I will thank God and let Him know my heart, and I am sure He will work it out for me. Since I have decided to give God thanks over worrying, I am convinced, "It's My Year to Get My Thing From My God!"

Prayer:

Lord, there are some things that I am going to worry about, but then I remember that you are with me, and worry will turn to praise and thanksgiving. You are always with me and since you are always with me, I have no need to worry because I know you will work it all out for me. I love you Lord. In Jesus Name Amen.
