Food for Soul

Do not be anxious about anything,
but in every situation, by prayer and petition,
with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
Philippians 4 : 6 (NIV)

The Bible tells us to be anxious for nothing. Reality is….because we live in uncertain times, there will be times of worry and a sense of nervousness that can lead to anxiety.
I believe God knew we would have bouts of anxiety because the Bible says in, 1 Peter 5:7,
“ Cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.”

So God KNEW we would have anxiety about circumstances in life and He wanted us to
know that all we had to do is cast them on Him and He would take care of everything else because He is a loving God that cares for us and what is going on in our lives.

It is normal to be anxious about finances, the future, the unexpected and what we can’t control but you know what?  You can’t control it, so let it go and let God just be God. God bless you.
