Worry or Peace

Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.    Philippians 4:6,7  THE MESSAGE

Anxiety seems to be a natural part of each of our lives, but according to scripture it doesn't have to be that way. When we were younger we worried about very little. Now that we are all grown up worry seems to come about more frequently.




When it comes to the truths of God's Word a godly man once said, "Either you believe or you don’t." After praying he would then say, "Now thank God for the answer."

The problem with worrying about tomorrow is you never run out of tomorrows. We must learn to live life one day at a time. God only gives us help we need for today. He doesn’t give us tomorrow’s help today. 

So don’t worry about what you are going to do tomorrow, because when you get to tomorrow, God’s grace will be there to meet you and give you what you need.

God's answers are expressed in his love for us. When we put our faith in trusting God and his Word we soon find ourselves exchanging our worry for peace and that is a wonderful feeling.

Endurance and Encouragement

May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had.. Romans 15:5

Sometime people don't always think the same way we do or treat us the way we want to be treated. God gives us patience and encouragement to love people where they are.


Love that is based upon performance, good behavior, or "right" thinking does not teach the love of God. It is the Holy Spirit who teaches us to love others where they are with the same love God loves us with. 

Are you trying your best to change someone by with holding your love rather than loving the person completely? Does God love you the same way?

Stories To Tell

Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story - those he redeemed from the hand of the foe...  Psalm 107:2

What a great feeling it is when we come to realize we have been redeemed by the Lord Jesus Christ. These are so many blessings that come from God, blessings we do not deserve. Those who have been redeemed truly have a story to tell. Each story has a way of uplifting others as they are able to relate to our personal experiences. Some of the greatest Bible heroes recounted the blessings of God for all to hear.


If you have experienced the redeeming power of the Lord Jesus use your story to encourage others who are struggling on their journey.
