More Worship & Less Worry

Image
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 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. — Philippians 4:6-7 (NLT) Cast your burden upon Yahweh and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken. (Psalms 55:22 LSB) What we give our attention to magnifies. Let us spend more time praising our great GOD than we do talking about what the enemy is doing. Proverbs 19:21 (NLT) says: You can make many plans, but the LORD’s purpose will prevail. No matter what the enemy is planning the battle still belongs to Yahweh and Yeshua has already won the victory. O magnify Yahweh with me, and let us exalt His name together. (Psalms 34:3 LSB) He will keep in perfect peace all who trust in Him, all whose thoughts are fixed on Him! (See Isaiah 26:3 NLT)

He Provides

Image
And Abraham called the name of that place Yahweh Will Provide, as it is said this day, “In the mount of Yahweh it will be provided.” — Genesis 22:14 (LSB) Yahweh-Yireh is the LORD, our Provider. Our heavenly Father knows what you need before you ask Him. (See Matthew 6:8) …the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD gives grace and glory; No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly. (Psalms 84:11 NASB1995) Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’ For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. (Matthew 6:31-33 NASB1995)

One Day at a Time

Image
“Refuse to worry about tomorrow, but deal with each challenge that comes your way, one day at a time. Tomorrow will take care of itself.” — Matthew 6:34 (TPT) Refuse to fret about tomorrow. Each day has enough trouble of its own. And every minute we spend focused on tomorrow’s issues, we are allowing the enemy to steal precious moments and energy from the present. We are empowered today to deal with the troubles we face today. Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God. (Philippians 4:6 AMP) And know that the peace of God (a peace that is beyond any and all of our human understanding) will stand watch over your hearts and minds in Jesus, the Anointed One. (Philippians 4:7 VOICE) “Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with what...

Don't Worry

Image
Jesus taught his disciples, saying, “Listen to me. Never let anxiety enter your hearts. Never worry about any of your needs, such as food or clothing. For your life is infinitely more than just the food you eat or the clothing you wear.” — Luke 12:22-23 (TPT) “Does worry add anything to your life? Can it add one more year, or even one day? So if worrying adds nothing, but actually subtracts from your life, why would you worry about God’s care of you?” (Luke 12:25-26 TPT) “I repeat: Don’t let worry enter your life. Live above the anxious cares about your personal needs. People everywhere seem to worry about making a living, but your heavenly Father knows your every need and will take care of you.” (Luke 12:29-30 TPT) Trust in, and rely on our great and mighty God, Who cares for you. Let us strive for and actively seek His kingdom, and He will supply our needs. (Luke 12:31 AMP/TPT) for the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking [what one likes], but of righteousness and P...

Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God. — Philippians 4:6 (AMP) When tempted to worry, turn your concerns over to God in prayer. Philippians 4:4 (AMP) tells us to: Rejoice in the Lord always [delight, take pleasure in Him]; again I will say, rejoice! The Passion Translation says: “Be cheerful with joyous celebration in every season of life . Let your joy overflow!” (Philippians 4:4 TPT) May we find joy in the Lord, even during the difficult seasons. We can rejoice at all times, as we continually cast our cares on the Lord and trust Him to handle all that concerns us. 

Light & Momentary

Image
“ So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. ” — Matthew 6:34 (NASB1995) There are two things we know about the troubles we face today. One, they are light and  two, they are momentary (brief and fleeting). Second Corinthians 4:17 (NASB ) says: our momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison. You see, the short-lived pains of this life are creating for us an eternal glory that does not compare to anything we know here. (2 Corinthians 4:17 VOICE) For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. (2 Corinthians 4:18 NKJV) Walk by faith as you deal with today’s challenges, trusting YAHWEH to show you the way through each and every situation. Know this: my God will also fill every need you have according to His glorious riches in Jesus the Anointed, our Liberating King. (Philippians 4:19 VOICE)

Don't Fret

Image
Be still in the presence of the LORD, and wait patiently for him to act. Don’t worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes. — Psalm 37:7 (NLT) Sin whispers to the wicked, deep within their hearts. They have no fear of God at all. They lie awake at night, hatching sinful plots. Their actions are never good. They make no attempt to turn from evil. (Psalm 36:1, 4 NLT) The wicked are too proud to seek God. They seem to think that God is dead. (Psalm 10:4 NLT) The wicked will go down to the grave. This is the fate of all the nations who ignore God. But the needy will not be ignored forever; the hopes of the poor will not always be crushed. (Psalm 9:17-18 NLT) God is NOT dead. Put your hope in the living LORD. Travel steadily along his path. He will honor you by giving you the land. You will see the wicked destroyed. (See Psalm 37:34 NLT)  Follow the LORD our God and fear Him. Keep His commandments, listen to His voice, serve Him, and cling to Him. (See Deuter...

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 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. — Philippians 4:6-7 (NLT) The longer we look at our problems, and troubles, the larger they seem. When we keep our focus on God, we gain the proper perspective. “For nothing will be impossible with God.” (See Luke 1:37) He is bigger and more powerful than any difficulty we face. He is higher than any mountain that stands before us.  …let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. (See Hebrews 12:1-2 NLT)

Christ at the Center

Image
Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life. — Philippians 4:6-7 (MSG) God raised us up with Christ and seated us in the heavenly realms with our beloved Jesus the Anointed, the Liberating King. (See Ephesians 2:6 VOICE) In Him, we are above every earthly circumstance. Keep Yeshua in the center of your thoughts, your life and your heart, first place in everything. Let anything else play a lesser, minor role in your life. He is also the head [the life-source and leader] of the body, the church. (See Colossians 1:18 AMP) He is the source of our peace, joy, and hope. And in Him, we overcome and have the victory.

No Need to Worry

Image
And He said to His disciples, “For this reason I say to you, do not worry about your life, as to what you will eat; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing.” — Luke 12:22-23 (NASB1995) But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also. (Matthew 6:33 AMP) Instead of worrying about food and the latest fashion, let us concern ourselves with the inner condition of our hearts and the state of our minds. In Luke 12:32, Jesus said, our Father has chosen gladly to give us the kingdom. What I’m trying to do here is get you to relax, not be so preoccupied with getting so you can respond to God’s giving. (Luke 12:29 MSG)  Seek first the Kingdom of God. And put more energy into developing a deeper relationship with YAHWEH and becoming more like Him, each and every day. ...

It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life. — Philippians 4:6-7 (MSG) Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in every circumstance and situation, present your requests to God, with thanksgiving. And the perfect peace of God which transcends all human understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus, the Anointed One. As long as we are in Christ Jesus that peace is ours. The LORD will keep the peace, a perfect peace, for all who trust in Him, for those who dedicate their hearts and minds to Him. (See Isaiah 26:3 VOICE) The mountains may disappear, and the hills may come to an end, but my love will never disappear; my promise of peace will not come to an end,” says the ...

Here to Help

Image
For I hold you by your right hand— I, the LORD your God. And I say to you, ‘Don’t be afraid. I am here to help you.’ — Isaiah 41:13 (NASB) God has a firm grip on you and He will not let go. Don’t give in to worry and have no fear. There is no need to panic or be distraught. You can be calm and confident. The great “I AM” is a very present help. He made the heavens and the earth by His great power and by His outstretched arm! Nothing is too difficult for the Lord. (Jeremiah 32:17) Amen! “… and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us. ” — Matthew 1:23 (NKJV)

Be Still & Wait

Be still in the presence of the LORD, and wait patiently for him to act. Don’t worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes. — Psalm 37:7 (NLT) For evildoers will be cut off, but those who wait for the LORD, they will inherit the land. — Psalm 37:9 (NASB) Do not fret because of evildoers, nor be envious of the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. Trust in the LORD, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the LORD, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass. He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday.  (Psalm 37:1-6 NKJV)

God Cares for You

Image
“Look at the lilies and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?” — Luke 12:27-28 (NLT) “And don’t be concerned about what to eat and what to drink. Don’t worry about such things. These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers all over the world, but your Father already knows your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and he will give you everything you need.” (Luke 12:29-30 NLT)

Be Still

Image
Be still in the presence of the LORD, and wait patiently for him to act. Don’t worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes. — Psalm 37:7 (NLT) Be still, and know that He is God (Psalm 46:10). The whole earth declares His wonderful works. He laid the foundation of the earth, and stretched out the heavens like a curtain. He set set a boundary for the waters and appointed the moon for seasons. Even the sun knows when to rise and when to go down. Surely, the LORD is able to take care of all that concerns you. Wait on the LORD, and keep His way, and He shall exalt you to inherit the land; (Psalm 37:34a NKJV).

Activate Peace

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 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. — Philippians 4:6-7 (NLT) And which of you by being overly anxious and troubled with cares can add a cubit to his stature or a moment [unit] of time to his age [the length of his life]? (Luke 12:25 NLT). Instead of worrying, activate God's formula for peace: pray about everything + continually give thanks to God = experience peace. Amen!
