MORNING MANNA 4-15-25
WAKING UP WORRIED
“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God” Philippians 4:6
Did you ever have one of those days—you wake up worried? No sooner than you drag out of bed than you are attacked by anxiety. It might revolve around several things:
The Unfinished—“How in the world will I get it all done?”
The Unknown – “How will this work out?””What will happen?”
The Unpleasant – “I don’t want to do it?”
The Unpopular – “I wonder what they will think?”
Before your feet hit the floor you find yourself in need of an attitude adjustment. So, what do we do? The solution is to re-orient ourselves, get our focus back in alignment with God’s point of view. Listen – you don’t need a long list of “do’s” & “don’ts.” I know, I don’t know your situation, but I do know that God’s word has the power to change our attitude. Open your Bible and search out the rich treasures God has for you. Fill your mind with His “exceeding great and precious promises” (2 Pet.1:4).
Paul gives us the answer for this problem in Phil.4:4-8. In those verses Paul tells us to “think on these things” – “whatsoever things are true—honest—just—pure—lovely—of good report,” and if we do “the peace of God which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Phil.4:7).- HDS
