Something Tangible

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Philippians 4:6

As I think about the different seasons of my life, I can recall a certain song or scripture that I held on to that seemed to be the theme for that particular time in my life. As of late, Philippians 4:6 has been my anchor…and I remind myself of its meaning daily.

There are many things that happen in our day to day lives that could easily uproot and derail us…circumstances that could cause us to worry and become anxious. Believe me; I’ve been living the evidence of that statement for the past several weeks. I love that this scripture directs me right back to the One who can handle it all. There is no reason for worry to infiltrate my thoughts and take over. Not when the One that I can spill my heart out to created the very universe I exist in. I can trade my anxiousness, doubt, self-doubt, concern, fear…and the list could go on and on for peace, rest, tranquility, balance, and His list goes on and on.

I am so in awe of our God. That he would love us so much, he gave us His spoken word to hold on to…something tangible that enables us to fight the very real enemy of our souls. I have ammunition at my fingertips that stops worry dead in its tracks. As I have utilized the meaning of this verse, I love how my thoughts transition from what I’m going through to what He has done for me. And I fall in love with Him all over again.
