A Precious Promise: Worry<\/u><\/strong>
\nDon’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and\u00a0thank him for all he has done.<\/em> \u00a0Philippians 4:6<\/p>\n

Thoughts:
\n<\/u><\/strong>The promise we receive when we don’t worry is peace.<\/p>\n

For Philippians 4:7 says: “Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.”<\/em><\/p>\n

When we worry, we are miserable, unhappy, and stressed. We don’t eat right, nor sleep right and we often miss out on enjoying everyday life. Worrying doesn’t do us any good and it surely doesn’t bring glory to God so God tells us that if we give all our cares to Him, we will receive His peace and He will take care of what we need because He cares about us.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sounds like a good trade-off to me!<\/p>\n

Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.<\/em> 1 Peter 5:7<\/p>\n

You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!<\/em>\u00a0 Isaiah 26:3<\/p>\n

Prayer: <\/u><\/strong>
\nDear God,
\nYour word says You will keep me in perfect peace if I stop worrying, place my trust in You, and keep my thoughts upon You.
\nI am so thankful that You care about me, and that You promise to meet my needs and give me peace if I will just stop worrying and place my trust in You.
\nSo today I am going to let go of all my cares and give them to You God.\u00a0 I am not going to worry about anything, and I am going to walk in the peace that You provide to me and bring glory to Your name!
\nHelp me to remember to do this daily God.
\nThank You!\u00a0 \u00a0In Jesus, who is the Prince of Peace, name I pray. Amen.<\/p>\n

This is the last devotional in the Precious Promises series.
\nTomorrow begins “Attitude of Gratitude” a 30-day devotional of thanksgiving.
\nEach day will bring a scripture of thanks and a prayer of gratitude, which will help to keep us grateful for each day the Lord has given.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
