DON'T BE ANXIOUS

A good morning with the peace of the Lord to everyone. For today, Wednesday 12 June 2024, the thought that I felt in my heart to share with you has as its key verse:
Philippians 4:6 (NIV)

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”

Every problem in life brings with it a worry. In these situations we often tend to lose our peace of mind. When you are overwhelmed by worry you are unable to focus on other things that are important in your life or on your daily activities. The Bible says: DO NOT WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING! You may think it's easier said than done, but it's not impossible. We can overcome our worries when we transform them into prayers.
May our anxieties be converted as sweet incense of prayer to our Lord Jesus. The way we react to our problems reveals our personality.
When we begin to pray for every concern that concerns us, we can see that God is opening doors of solutions to problems. It takes faith, not worrying and praying about the problem. Worry affects productivity, and as children of God, our goal is to be productive for the Kingdom of God and in our personal lives as well.
So let's not let the temporary worries in our lives affect our productivity for GOD and the people GOD has placed in our lives. Let us make a commitment to our Lord, that in every difficult situation, we will not be worried, but will carry our worries in prayers and faithfully trust in our God.

Together we pray to the Lord telling him: God of love, I thank you for everything you do for me. Thank you for how you take care of my life. I leave all my worries to you, help me overcome everything with Your support... In the name of Jesus, Amen!
With love, Ivano Salerno
