Ok guys feel I've been learning so much over the last while and I've been meaning to post this but thought this was quite good for us all to take on board - So when you are feeling fearful meditate on these words over and over again until your focus goes back on God and not you trying to control it. (sobering lesson for me)
"When you feel that familiar panic begin to rise in your heart like a river coursing its bank and your soul begins to roll with another round of "What will I do if...?" what would happen if you were willing to hear the voice of God whisper these inaudible words?
Child you are asking the wrong question.Here's the one that would assuage your fears. What will God do if....?
Here's a smattering of answers to that might good question. I, the Maker of heaven and earth, will:
perfect everything that concerns you (Psalm 138:8)
work all thing together for your good (Romans 8:28)
contend with those who contend with you (Isaiah 49:25)
fight this battle for you (2 Chronicles 20:15)
equip you with his divine power (2 Corinthians 10:4)
delight to show you mercy (Micah 7:18)
meet all you needs according to My glorious riches in Christ Jesus (Phil 4:19)
give you grace that is perfectly sufficient (2 Corinthians 12:9)
be your power in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9)
do immeasurably more than all you could ask or imagine, according to the power that is at work within you (Ephesians 3:20)
How cool is that peace is there for the taking the choice is ours. Will we continue to worry and try to control things or will we trust what God says is true. It is def down to a choice : ) Let me know what you think.
Oh one other quote - An attitude of gratitude contributes to an enjoyment of Spiritual tranquility, whereas grumbling makes for inner agitation.
I guess that's why it says to be thankful (Col 3:15, Phil 4:6, Col 1:12, 3:16, 4:2, 1 Thes 5:18)
In case you're wondering the book I'm reading and finally almost finished is called So long Insecurity by Beth Moore worth a read for every woman : )
