Word For Today "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." Philippians 4:6 Live a day at a time Many times we find ourselves at a state of anxiety and we worry a lot about situations and events that trouble our minds. It’s not rare to sit and worry about bills, health, examination results, and the future especially when it seems uncertain but we have a manual. The Bible is our manual which has all answers to our situations. In fact, 2nd Timothy 3:16 clearly describe Scripture by saying this: ‘All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness’. In the book of Matthew, Jesus encourages us not to worry about life, He alludes to how the birds of the air get their food on a daily basis and yet they do not sow or reap or store away food in barns. Christ finishes off with asking ‘are we not much more valuable than they?’ Though it’s inevitable not to worry, there are some ways we can deal with worry in our lives. You can start a worry list. Write down what you are worried about such as bills, your job, your Health or the future. Afterwards, turn your worry list into a prayer list. When you start worrying continually, pray continually over those issues that you are concerned about and depend on God. Finally, turn your prayer list into an action list. You could start by exercising and eating healthy food to live a healthy life, if it’s in relation to your job, give your very best and be diligent in all you do. Thereforelive a day at a time, take all your worries to the Lord and let Him be your help and encourager.
