Don't Worry, But PRAY

Have you ever sat and start to worry and dwell on things that is bothering you in your everyday life. Well in Philippians 4:6 it says “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; ⁷ and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” This basically means that yes you will have things that bother and weigh down you such as finances, health, family, or whatever your case may be, but you need to surrender that to God and talk to Him about this situation that is making you want to worry about it. While going through this situation God will give you the comfort that you need to trust in Him. Sometimes He makes you wait for the blessing to end this situation just to show you that He has his hands in it and that he is working it all out just for you. I know for a fact that he will work it all out because I have often sat and tried to worry about things especially when it comes to not having enough to pay for bills or buy things that I need.

My family and I struggled this summer with getting my rent paid as  well as maintaining the main household with utilities, gas and mortgage, but let me say that in the past there has been times where we’ve been in these situations and we would worry and not pray and things would go wrong. Well this time we made up our mind that despite whatever situation we were faced with that we would pray and worship God through the pain. Let me tell you all this I have never seen nothing like what God has done for us! With my rent it always got paid in miraculous ways and I received favor and was never evicted although I was over the payment deadline, Utilities for my mother’s home was never cut off or was ever put on the cut off list and money would always seem to come right on time. We did not rush Him all we did was believe, have faith, pray, but most of all we did not worry about one thing, and God worked it out every time for us. We also had lost our car due to once again not trusting God and doing things our way, but how many know that God looks past our faults and mistakes and will give you what is due you anyway. So to continue we was trying to do things our way and listening to others about where and how to get a car, but every single opportunity it seemed like the door was shut in our faces because of credit issues. Someone suggested a place that they got their car from, and I just felt like God wanted my mother to try this place what damage could it do to try we were used to the rejection by now, so we prayed and fully left things up to God. Well long story short in matter of 2 days my mom had a car with no cosigners meaning her credit alone was good to get a car with reasonable car payments! Wait! Didn’t the other places say her credit was horrible….yes it was when we wasn’t trusting God, but immediately as soon as we put it in his hands he opened up the door for us. He is an awesome God that will work it out for His people!

Saying all of that and telling you all our testimony for this summer is to let you know yes you may face these tests that life seems to through at you, but God will turn your test into your TESTimony! Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3: 5-6. Don’t worry and trust God he is your guidance and he will provide comfort and ways out of your situations. Though it may be painful at the moment just know that with God all things are possible, and that no situation is too big for God to handle!

Matthew 6: 25-34

²⁵ “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? ²⁶ Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? ²⁷ Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?

²⁸ “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. ²⁹ Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. ³⁰ If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? ³¹ So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ ³² For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. ³³ But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. ³⁴ Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

We cannot worry about not having what we want 

and sometimes need, but we must trust God at all 

times and focus on Him because we are important to

 Him and He will never leave us in a rut.

I love you all, but REMEMBER that God loves you MOST!! With Him All Things Are Possible! Be Blessed!
