Therefore, I tell you,
do not be anxious about your life:
what you will eat
or what you will drink,
nor about your body,
what you will put on.....
But seek first the Kingdom of God
and His righteousness,
and all these things
will be added to you.
Matthew 7. 25, 33
(Anxiety, worry and stress
are nothing new.
They drain
every drop of your energy
and take over every square inch
or our thoughts,
masquerading as our friends.
But God gives us the antidote:
"Do this instead.
Seek Me
and I will take care of you."
When we seek God first,
He shows us the way through
the darkness and confusion
and quick sand
with a wisdom and strength
that are not our own.
Fear does nothing but
deflate our tires,
promising us a free ride, and then
drops us over a
cliff.)
O LORD,
How many millions of times
do you have to tell us
"Do not fear. I am with you."
Please help us to know
that life can be so different
when we trust You.
Empower us to tell fear
"You are not welcome here."
When we seek You,
You provide in ways
we could never expect.
You do not just open doors.
You open our hearts.
