WORD for Today!!

Hey everyone!! I am praying that you would all have a beautiful and wonderful day!! AND that you would get everything done that needs to be done!! AND that you will have peace and healing in your bodies as well as strength, AND endurance to do that which God has called you to do!! AMEN!! I don't know about you, but sometimes life feels like it is spinning around you!! I know that God IS in control of everything and HE will take of everything!! DO you have a need or situation in your life that seems out of your control!! Are there people or situations coming at you all the time that want to distract you and try to get you to not stand in faith?? There is one verse I wanted to share with you that always helps me in these situations that may seem hopeless. In Philipians 4:6-7, it reads: " Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." (New King James Version)" NOW, read..... "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." (The Message Bible) I thought what an awesome way to phrase this scripture, It puts an excellent perspective on it!! I encourage all of you to keep going on, continue on, even when there seems to be no answer yet in front of you...God knows the answer and he will give it in His time!! He loves you!! He's not going to leave ya hanging!! Keep pressing into him and not only will you get the answer you are praying for, but you will become stronger in your faith and relationship with Him!! AMEN!! Have a blessed day! I love you all!! Lucy

How true and if we could just remember this on a daily basis how much easier our lives would be. I know that when I turn everything over to our dear Lord I immediately receive that peace that passes all understanding. How many times do I try to run the show and succeed? None that's how many! So if I would just remember that daily , life would be much more successful and rewarding.
