DO NOT BE ANXIOUS ABOUT ANYTHING, BUT IN EVERYTHING,
BY PRAYER AND PETITION, WITH THANKSGIVING, PRESENT
YOUR REQUESTS TO GOD.
( PHILIPPIANS 4:6 *NIV )
Dear Mingxiu,
I ask you wouldn't it be wonderful not to have any worries
at all! That is hard to imagine isn't it, for it seems like worry is
part of this life. The part of life that causes us to lose sleep,
damages our health, controls our thoughts, and causes us to
lose faith in God.
Jesus Christ asked: "WHO OF YOU BY WORRYING CAN
ADD A SINGLE HOUR TO HIS LIFE?" (MATTHEW 6:27). The
answer is simple, no one! Jesus also said: "DO NOT WORRY
ABOUT TOMORROW, FOR TOMORROW WILL WORRY
ABOUT ITSELF." ( MATTHEW 6:34 ).
So why not turn your worries into prayers, after all God
promises to supply all of our needs anyway! Therefore
there is also an added benefit when we turn our worries into
prayers, for God also promises us that: WHEN YOU LIE
DOWN, YOU WILL NOT BE AFRAID: WHEN YOU LIE DOWN
YOUR SLEEP WILL BE SWEET. (PROVERBS 3:24)
Therefore Mingxiu, turn your worries into prayers and
you will have sweet dreams, instead of sleepless nights! Also
then you may even start to count your blessings instead of
sheep as well! Amen.
