Why do we worry? Is it because of inadequacy, second-guessing,
fear of man, or something else? The verses today hold the keys
to overcoming worry. When we do not have it figured out, or it
seems hopeless, just pray. Pray with a posture of gratitude and
simply let the Lord know how you are feeling. Thank Him for His
goodness, and His perfect leadership. Through doing all of this
His perfect peace that surpasses anything you can do will cover
and guard both your heart and your mind. You will be sustained
by His peace and free from worry or anxiousness because you
trust Him.
ACTION
Gratitude is a theme in a lot of these devotionals. Wear it like a
coat. Focus on who He is and what He is doing in your life and
everything else will fall into place.
PRAYER
Lord, you know my situation, you know what I have been praying
for, and you know my family and friends that need you. Father, I
trust You with all of these things that I worry about. Anything that
causes me to stress, I trust You with them. Thank you, Lord for
being my rock and my sure foundation. Thank You for taking care
of me. Give me that peace that surpasses all of my understanding
and guard my heart and mind with Your truth. Amen!

it. Where is your heart? Living for Jesus requires dying daily to
the things of the world. When we sacrifice for Jesus we cultivate
heavenly treasure. This treasure is not ... -
Day 19 Dont Wait Just Reset
If you are in a cycle of failure, it is not who you are. If you are in
a place where there seems to be no escape it is not your home.
Even if you deserve what is going on in your life, the Father does
not desire that for you. There will always be trials and tribulations.
It all depends on how you...
