Luke 12:22-26 And he said to his
disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you
will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. For life
is more than food, and the body more than clothing. Consider the ravens: they
neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds
them. Of how much more value are you than the birds! And which of you by being
anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? If then you are not able to
do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest?
Anxiety
is a result of envisioning the future without Me. So the best defense against
worry is staying in communication with Me. When you turn your thoughts toward
Me, you can think much more positively. Remember to listen, as well as to
speak, making your thoughts a dialogue with Me.
If you must consider upcoming events, follow these
rules: 1) Do not linger in the future, because anxieties sprout up like
mushrooms when you wander there. 2) Remember the promise of My continual
Presence; include Me in any imagery that comes to mind. This mental discipline
does not come easily, because you are accustomed to being god of your
fantasies. However, the reality of My Presence with you, now and forevermore,
outshines any fantasy you could ever imagine.
Ephesians 3:20-21 Now
to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think,
according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in
Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
