Worrying has become a toy that they relax into on every occasion, during the day and at the end of the day. <a title=\"Read the Bible\" href=\"http:\/\/bible.us\/Phil4.6.NLT\" target=\"_blank\">Philippians 4:6<\/a> is a command and not a suggestion from God. God does not want you to worry; a command not to be anxious for anything. God is saying do not worry about anything. So when you worry, you are disobeying God. <!--more-->When you catch yourself worrying, turn it to God and leave it there. God has promised to provide our needs, what is that thing that is keeping you up at night? Is it a need or a want? Then take it to the One who never fails on His promises. \u2018<em>And God said, Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens\u2026 and let them be signs and tokens [of God&#8217;s provident care<\/em>\u2026\u2019 <a title=\"Read the Bible\" href=\"http:\/\/bible.us\/Gen1.14.NLT\" target=\"_blank\">Gen.1:14<\/a> [AMP]. Truthfully speaking, what has your worrying solved? Has it been able to do or change anything? Do not let anything steal your joy because joy is a gift from God. God changes things in an instant, put all your trust in Him today and dissolve every worry. God will sort you out. God does not have to show up on your own time table but He will show up. The reason why it appears that a lot of us are waiting longer than usual is because we are playing god. You are doing the worrying by yourself so why don\u2019t you go ahead and solve the problem on your own too. It is time to quit worrying and hand everything over to God, and then you watch God be God. As Christians, we have to learn to trust God because He will never put us to shame. Are you holding unto God or do you have another option. God will wait until you exhaust the other option because your dependence has to be total. When you are ready, then He will be ready. On Christ alone the solid rock I stand.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Prayer<\/strong>: Father, I hand it all to you. Things in the past, days I cannot see and the things that are yet to be. You are my only option and I trust You completely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God\u2019 Phil.4:6 [NIV].
