Prayer Please

Hey all! I know I don't post often but I do read and do pray for ya'll. I need some prayers right now. I am a worrier and cannot seem to stop. I really wish and continue to pray that I could let things go. I'm just going through some personal things right now and could really use some prayers going up on my behalf. Thanks!! Love, Shel

Surrendering is one of the hardest things for me! I tend to be a control person. Just remember that God clothes the lilies of the field and feeds the birds in the air and that He loves us even more and will take care of our every and smallest needs. It's very calming when you can honestly just give it to God, such a peace comes over you. I pray that you will find that peace and calm.

The way I learn not to worry is to meditate on scripture. Take a scripture and post it all over your house, and carry it in your pocket. I have been meditating on Philippians 4:6-7. "6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." I have not had 100% success in eliminating my anxiety, but it has helped calm me at times. Huggles, Trish

Shel, I'm married to a worrier and one of our three children inherited this quality. I know that it is not reflective of your Christian belief that God is in control......both my DH and daughter know that, too. I try to tell them both that the energy they use worrying about something is weakening to the Spirit...... AND when you are your weakest, God's strength is made evident! God bless you and my prayer is that God would give you peace and assurance that He is better equipped to carry your burdens and doubts than you are!! luvitsunnyv

Good morning Shel! I know what you are talking about. I use to be the WORLD'S best worrier. Still am sometimes. I use to worry about other people's problems. I was driving myself batty and to an early grave. I had to learn to GIVE it ALL to God. When I realized I couldn't fix everything or everyone, then I began to feel better and have more peace! I pray that the peace of God surround you and give you strenght. I pray that God helps you to GIVE IT ALL TO HIM! Litterally and physically lift all the weight that is on your shoulders and offer them up to God. Just give them to Him. In Jesus' name, I speak peace to your heart, your mind, and your life. God bless you my friend!
