“Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition, definite requests, with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God. And God’s peace shall be yours that tranquil state of a soul, assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things, fix your minds on them. Practice what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and model your way of living on it, and the God of peace, of untroubled, undisturbed well-being will be with you.” Philippians 4:6-9

It is difficult to tell someone experiencing lack of the things they desire for themselves, for their family and many other personal and professional needs not too worried especially when time, day and even years are passing by fast without hope or assurance of those needs being met. But one thing is certain, worries aggravate the problem, it does not solve them. Jesus Christ asked us not to be worried but to trust Him; look unto Him, believe Him, and follow Him. He promised never to disappoint us, never to forsake us, never to abandon us, and never to let us down. This is because there are no worries in the presence of our God, no fears of failure in Him, and no defeat in any physical or spiritual battle He is involved in, but absolute victory and unending joy, praises and celebration of what God had already done for and in the lives of all His children.

Through what you see in your life, your spause, children and family every day, you are forced to worry; through what you hear from people around and know personally concerning delay in your desires to excel and get pass a particular situation; delay in executing good plans after working hard to perfect them for years; delay in seeing visions come true; delay in God given dreams, and the daily struggles you go through, you are bound to be worried, but the assurance from God is, do not allow what you see, what you hear, what you know and the impossibilities of the season worry you. It is good to know that despite the fact that you are still struggling every day to meet up with many things, you are not a failure; the devil and his agents’ want to see you in a state of continuous worried so it will affect other things in our life negatively causing greater set back for you. But thanks to our God for the victory over the devil and the provision in His name to meet our needs through the assurance of His words and promises. You should not be a subject of devil's captivity through worries, you serve a living and able God.

Though there are many things we will never understand in this world and in ourselves, but despite the lack of understanding, we understand the reason Jesus Christ came into the world; the reason He died on the cross; the reason He was raised from the dead; and the reason He is alive today and will be alive throughout eternity, that knowledge is enough to change things in your life. Our lack of understanding of things around us should never, and will never erode the word of God for us and the purpose of Christ Jesus in your life, the purpose of our being Christians, and of your remaining faithful to our Father in heaven. Because we know our God; we trust His love; we have read about His power; we will never give up in our desires to be closer to Him, to follow Him and to be expectant of the fulfillment of His unfailing promises. Did you remember that God showed up in a miraculous way when David was thrown into the den of lions to die? We serve that same God today. He will show up for you. For prayers, Click here.
