Be Anxious For Nothing

Be Anxious For Nothing "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." 2nd Corinthians 12:8 In 2nd Corinthians the Apostle Paul is telling us all the trials and tribulations he faced daily in his own life, and tells us that as a child of God we should not worry. He wrote much of this while in prison, and was well aware of the things that cause others to be anxious and worry. Even though Paul was constantly under attack by people wanting to persecute him, he was always at peace with himself as he depended on his faith and trust in God. My friends, no matter what position in life you are in, you will always experience trials and sufferings, as God will not necessarily take your problems away, but He will carry the load for you. God wants you to experience His peace, even in your daily struggles. You may not fully understand how God can give you peace in some of the situations you face, but you do not have to understand it in order to experience it. This peace God will give you is not just for the people who may handle stress and worry well, but it is there for everyone. If you are dealing with some situation in your life today, that you are worried and anxious about, turn it over to God. God knows what you are going through, as He knows everything about you. Pray about it and ask Him to give you wisdom and understanding. Read and study your Bible, and let God speak to you through the scriptures about your situation. When you draw closer to God and establish this close relationship with Him, you will find that you will have peace even during your darkest hour. The Bible tells us repeatedly that we should not be anxious for anything. There is nothing that you will face that is too difficult, troubling, or impossible for God to handle. No matter what your circumstances are, turn your anxiety and worry over to God, and let His perfect peace guard your heart. Robert W. Brock My Daily Devotional Volume Seven August 25
