Day 18: Peacefully Anxious
Today I will be
ANXIOUS
about everything, in every circumstance.
I won't talk to GOD about what is bothering me.
I won't ask HIM to do anything about it.
I will continue to complain.
I will focus on whatever is false, unwholesome, wrong, impure, ugly, and unworthy,
And then I will be
ANXIOUS
about everything, in every circumstance.
Therefore I won't talk to GOD about what is bothering me.
I won't ask HIM to do anything about it.
I will continue to complain.
I will focus on whatever is false, unwholesome, wrong, impure, ugly, unworthy.
Hmm...
I guess I will always be
ANXIOUS.
My choice.
What are you anxious about?
How do you try to get rid of it?
What if I told you~
"DO NOT BE" anxious?
Do those three words carry the power to take away your anxiety?
Actually they bring more anxiety to me,
because it is so hard "not to be" in the midst of being
ANXIOUS..
But GOD just doesn't tell us to
"DO NOT BE"
as HE desires to be part of the process.
What happens when we do it
HIS WAY?
Today
I will
NOT BE ANXIOUS
about anything, no matter the circumstance
Because
I will talk to GOD about what is bothering me.
I will ask HIM to do something about it.
I will thank HIM for all HE has done and for all who HE is.
I will focus on whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and admirable
Then
the PEACE OF GOD
that transcends all understanding
WILL
guard my heart & mind
in
CHRIST JESUS.
HIS PEACE overrides ANXIETY.
PEACE~
a gift from GOD.
PEACE~
with GOD, because of JESUS CHRIST~
that is beyond anything that you could ever imagine,
when it covers your ANXIOUS heart.
PEACE in the midst of a storm.
PEACE in the midst of pain.
PEACE in the midst of the unknown.
HIS PEACE
moves us
beyond
ANXIETY
when we choose to
take our eyes off of our
ANXIOUS SELF
&
instead fix them on the
ONE
who tells us to
DO NOT BE
so that
HE CAN BE
what we can't be
so we WAIT in PEACE.
Let's
BE WAITLESS~ MOVING FORWARD IN PEACE
GOD'S WAY
&
DO NOT BE ANXIOUS
"about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to GOD. And the peace of GOD, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in CHRIST JESUS.
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—
if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. "
(Philippians 4:6-8)
What do you have to be anxious about now?
