There is so much in our world today that causes us to be anxious/fearful and worry not only for the here and now but for the future. They take over your whole thought pattern. Once in , thats it they are there rolling around in your head. What if? …. What if?… WHAT IF?…….Shall i do this,  shall i do that, How do i know if this is the right thing to do? So many questions run through your head. How will i pay my bills? How will my appointment go at the doctors? Will my children be ok as they travel? I cant go anywhere, I cant do this or that. In the middle of all these questions its just a mountain of What if’s and I cant’s…………

Do you know that most of the What ifs and i cants are lies. Most of what we fear doesn’t happen. Most of what we worry about doesn’t come true. I know this because i have been there,  I still visit the mountain of ‘What if’ and ‘I can’t’ quite regularly. Its taken over huge chunks of my life at times. BUT one thing the Lord has shown me more and more is that i need to lay these things down and Trust in Him. I know its easier said that done but if we truly believe that our Heavenly Father loves us , cares for us and that His Word is true then as you study His Word and ask Him to reveal to you just what you need for today He will.  You will find He has given us all we need to know His Word to help us and we have the precious Holy Spirit to guide and lead us too. The Holy Spirit will speak to you as you spend time in His presence.Take that time to spend with Him it is so important. Wake up in the morning and thank Him for another wonderful day to spend with Him. Spend time in His Word and prayer.

There are many amazing verses in the bible to say and repeat daily till they become part of you. Remember 1 Peter 5v8 ‘the devil roams around like a roaring lion seeking someone to devour’  Don’t let him do this to you. Speak out the Sword of the Spirit using the Shield of faith.  God has not given me a spirit of fear but of love power and a sound mind, say this every day till it becomes part of you.  Remember how Jesus overcame satan when he was tempted. IT IS WRITTEN ….. We have to speak Gods Word , there is power in Gods Word. Trust Him

As James says Submit to God. Resist the devil and he WILL flee from you.

Prov 3 v 5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will keep your paths straight. Phil 4 v 4-8 REJOICE IN THE LORD …..Be Anxious for NOTHING, but in EVERYTHING by prayer, supplication and thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding WILL guard your hearts and minds safe in Christ Jesus

So rejoice in the Lord, give Him Praise and thanksgiving that He has saved us, loved us, never leaves us , He is with you in the storm, He is just a whisper away. Sing worship songs in Praise and Glory of our Saviour.  Gods Word cannot lie. God has given us in His Word all we need to live a victorious life in Him. So lets live by it. Give it to God make your requests known to Him . He loves you , you are His child. Tell him how you are feeling and give him your worries and fears and He says that His peace WILL guard our hearts and minds safe in Christ Jesus.  If our first response is to fear/worry/doubt then maybe our first response should be to take it to the Lord.  Remember God is in control He has it. He wont let you down.

I was really worried about something a while ago and spent nearly two weeks worrying about it making my self feel awful but when i stepped out in Faith and did what i believe God had called me to do i was completely calm and relaxed it was amazing and in those times you realize how Gods Grace is sufficient for us for Gods strength  is made perfect in weakness.

Go to Him now , spend time in His Presence and watch what He will do in and through you
