Pray

If I were riding that bull at the Caldwell Night Rodeo or was one of the bull-fighters, there would be a whole lot of prayin' goin' on.

Pray
More from the Philippians four chapter on health and freedom, the writer to the Philippians goes on to say, “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 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.”

Denial or ignorance is sometimes a causal factor for peace. But when we are plummeted into life’s challenges without an escape, true peace of mind is possible only through Jesus. We gaze into the face of the One who said, “peace I leave you. Not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled.” The more we understand Him, His love and grace, the deeper the peace. No worry!

Less than 10% of what we worry about actually happens. Worry is a waste of time and energy and also indicates a lack of trusting God and possibly lack of communication with God. The Scripture is replete with passages declaring how God will provide for His children. He wants us communicating with Him about our needs. Pray about everything with a grateful heart.

We'll look next at "a grateful heart."
