Live A Worry-free Life - Jan 7, 2015


Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.’ (Phil 4: 6-7)

Jesus lived that life in His earthly ministry.  He was not exempted from problems of this world.  But He was calm and took charge of every challenge He faced.  God wants us to live that kind of life as well.  We are living in a worry and fear filled world.  Jesus said, we are in this world but not of this world.(John 15:19).  

We are born of God to overcome the world. ‘For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. (1John 5:4).

Refuse to worry or be anxious.  You make this choice everyday.  Be consistent and determine to program your mind to be a ‘worry-free mind’. Remember also, ‘in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God’.   If you maintain yourself this way, very soon you will find yourself calm and peaceful under pressure because the opening verse says, if you follow ‘and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Confess this loudlyI refuse to worry or be anxious about anything.   I choose to live a worry-free life.  God’s peace is guarding my heart and mind. 

Further study, please read: Luke 12: 22-30
