Phil:4:6 Don't worry about anything; instead pray about everything. Are you worried; are you disappointed; are you concerned; are you confused; The key is praying. In praying there is letting go of the reins. Praying develops trust. Pray about absolutely everything. Then time wouldn't suffice for you to pray - in contrast to, there is no time to pray. V:6b. Tell God what you need and thank Him for all He has done. Being thankful for what He has done in the past is part of your prayer. Praying thus develops gratefulness. V:7. Then you will experience God's peace which exceeds anything we can understand. The key to peace that passeth all understanding is to be thankful for what He has done. To remember what He has done helps you to be at peace in tumultuous situations, because you remember that the God who has led you in the past, will lead you now as well.

Pro:12.25 Worry weighs a person down An encouraging word cheers a person up.  Keep on worrying, keep on going down. Resist. Tell an encouraging word to yourself.  Why? Not because your determination or positive energy is going to bring a change. But because your God is Sovereign and Good. He has called you to bless you. He has plans to prosper you and not to harm you.  The most encouraging words are not obtained from the mouths of your best friend. But from God Almighty, Maker and Possessor of the whole universe who is your Maker as well. Your Father. That He will never leave you not forsake you.  Take a deroute from your worrying life to a life filled with joy and happiness by trusting in Him. Hallelujah He is Jehovah Jireh.  Image credit:  https://www.shutterstock.com/search/drowning-hand

The Lord says - of all my house he is the one I trust. And He testifies about Moses that he sees the Lord as He is. When you are cornered from all sides, when you feel all alone, when you feel, you are facing the whole world against you, it is a solace to know that there is someone on your side. Your closest friend or the love of your life or you mother will always be in your corner. Just their presence doesn't bring much of a solution to your problem.

What an amazing solace it is to realize that God is on my side.  That you are not alone. That there is God who understands you. You might be helpless. But He acc...
