Be anxious for nothing!

In this world it is often expressed that being anxious is normal and even said to be beneficial in some situations because it is an expression of humbleness. However, that is not what the LORD's word states. The LORD commands us not to be anxious about anything but to trust in Him for everything.

He is mindful of us and knows exactly what we need, how much we need and when we need it. However, instead of people taking heed to His words they tragically become bound by anxiousness. Sadly, people worry about money, health, relationships, jobs, people, decisions etc. and as the bondage intensifies it becomes a tragic testament of their faith. If we faithfully trust that the LORD is in complete control of "everything" when situations arise that attempt to cause us stress we must not
forget the LORD's promises.

As Christians we have to remain obediently faithful regardless of how daunting situations seem and trust that in the end the LORD will always have the victory. That doesn't mean that every situation will always turn out the way we expect but we must remain confident that the LORD knows best. Remember, His ways are not our ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts so don't be anxious about the details just trust that He has power over all. And when we faithfully put our trust fully in Him there leaves absolutely no room for anxiousness but instead we are blessed with a wonderful peace that surpasses understanding.

So the next time, you experience the onset of anxiousness take the feeling captive unto Christ remembering that we have victory through his loving sacrifice.

Be anxious for nothing...trust in the LORD for everything!
