Be anxious for nothing?

Hi there!

Philippians 4:6
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

( Carpe’ Diem ), SEIZE THE MOMENT!
For the most part, we live in a, "doer", culture...one that's filled with such clichés as: "Just do it!" and "Live life in the fast lane!"

Do we measure the value of what we do day to day by how much we put out? By the approval we receive from others? Do we measure ourselves by what others say about us and what we do? Must we be in constant activity?

Does this not cause us anxieties? Society is now so fast. Why do we always feel the need to keep up?

Do we forget God in your busy lives? Hmmmm, I sometimes do! Do we pray before an exam or are we too anxious and forget? Do I feel trapped? Ya, sometimes.

HOW do I get OUT?

Can I find Peace?

STOP... Quiet time with God. Read His word. Pray and give Him your worries.

STOP... Listen to God speak to you.

There's nothing wrong with working diligently or doing something "active," but we should also cherish the gift of solitude with our Lord!

May God bless you all this week!

In His Service,

Mark
