Ep. 192 - Grace Over Worry

MINISTRY MOMENT

This is a life challenging concept. Planning isn’t wrong, but worrying pointlessly about the worst case scenario of things we can’t control is literally disobeying God. Matthew 6:34 is a message from Jesus Himself, telling us not to worry.

PRAYER POINT

Lord God, I ask that You forgive me for not trusting You and walking in the grace that You’ve given me for today. I ask that You equip me to stop ruminating in the past of yesterday and being gripped by fear of tomorrow. I invite You to bring Your peace that goes beyond understanding. Thank You for Your loving kindness.

GOING DEEPER

Read Philippians 4:6-7 and Matthew 6:25-34.

WALK IT OUT

When you feel anxiety or depression creeping in…stop, hit pause, and invite the Lord into the situation. Invite His peace that goes beyond understanding to rest on the situation and invite Him to speak His truth.

SHARE WITH OTHERS

The next time you are in conversation with someone who is ruminating about the past or stressing about the future, I want to challenge you to be brave and speak God’s truth into the situation. I doubt you’ll have to wait long for an opportunity. How is fear or anxiety involved in everyday conversations? Lots!
