WHY WORRY? Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. (Philippians 4:6) A common adage says, Why worry when you can pray?. Anxiety, fear and worry are big problems in our time. As a youth, many challenges, from academic, economic, unemployment, societal and peer pressures, plague your life, predisposing you to fear, worry and anxiety. Our text for meditation today admonishes you not to be anxious but rather, make your requests known unto God. A writer once said, Satan laughs at our toiling, mocks at our wisdom, but trembles when he sees the weakest Saint on his knees. As a youth, consider the counsel of this song writer which says, When your grief cannot be spoken,...When your heart is nearly broken;...,When youre filled with doubt and worry,...; When the future makes you wonder, as the road ahead you ponder, are there many problems yonder? Spend a little time with Jesus in prayer. He alone can lift your heavy load of care, tell Him all about the things that try you, every little need He will supply you, spend a little time with Jesus in prayer. Start now and God will bless you. Challenge: Take your worries, fears, and anxieties to God in prayer. Prayer: Dear Lord, bestow upon me the Spirit of prayer.
