No Worries Mate

SCRIPTURE

Philippians 4:6-7

 

Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

 

 

PRAYER

Lord, you know that at times ______'s mind swirls with things over which he has no control; the future, other's thoughts, past events. And as his mind churns, his heart becomes anxious with worry, consternating over things for which he is not responsible, things that he can never change. Lord, I ask that you would draw his heart into that peaceful place of prayer. I pray that ______ would be moved to take each and every individual worry, and come to you with a very specific request. May he ask you to prevent that which he worries might be, to make true that which he worries might never be. Permeate his prayers with gratitude for the goodness you lavished upon him, and so fortify his prayers with faith in your continued graciousness. And if anxiety presses, may his prayers press more. May he linger in this place until anxiety dissolves into peace. Lord, take away every ripple of his heart, and make him as calm as a mountain lake on a still morning. Amaze him with your peace, Lord, and by it guard his mind from the chaotic swirl, and his heart from the burdensome weight. Garrison him about with a legion of calming angels, assuring him of your fatherly care. And may he hear once again your voice whispering in his ear, "I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you." Amen

 

ENCOURAGEMENT

Remember, one day your heart WILL say, "Today is turning out to be much better than tomorrow was going to be yesterday." One day. One day.
