Bible Verse of the Day – 6-6-22

Philippians 4:6-7 (NKJV) 6 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.

Worry, Fear, Stress, Anxiety.

These are all things that we as humans struggle with when things get tough or unsure.

Some wrestle with these more than others. Our personality can play a big part in how much we struggle with any of them.

But our walk with God, our faith in Him and how much we trust Him can also have a major impact on whether or not we fight with any of them, or even to what degree it might happen.

Everyone is in a different place in their walk with God. We all deal with different obstacles when it comes to growing and maturing.

The import thing, though, is that we do work at it.

A strong, secure relationship with our Father is our best defense against anxiety, fear, stress and worrying.

As we grow and mature as a believer, we will come to understand what Jesus said in Matthew 6:34, “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble”.

Does this mean that our worries just magically melt away? Of course not.

But it does mean that as we spiritually mature, we will spend less and less time fretting and worrying, and more time seeking God and His solutions to our problems.

And as we do that, worrying will indeed become less a part of our life than we could have ever imagined.
