You Don’t Need To Worry: Trust God - In the Evening When I Rest
You Don’t Need To Worry: Trust God
Lord, I feel anxious about the future. How can I trust you to take care of me?
Don’t worry about everyday life, saying, “What will I eat? What will I drink? What will I wear?” These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but I already know all your needs. Seek my Kingdom above all else, and live righteously, and I will give you everything you need.
Matthew 6:31-33
What does your Word tell me to do when I feel anxiety begin to take over?
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell me what you need, and thank me for all I have done. Then you will experience my peace, which exceeds anything you can understand. My peace will guard your heart and mind as you live in Christ Jesus. I am close to all who call on me; yes, to all who call on me in truth.
Philippians 4:6-7; Psalm 145:18
What can I pray when I am anxious?
Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.
Psalm 139:23-24
God promises to take care of those who trust him and stay close to him. Make a list of the things you feel anxious about this evening. Keep this list tucked in your Bible or in a safe place to remind you to pray whenever you feel anxious thoughts creep in. Pray that God will transform your anxious heart into one that trusts him to take care of each and every item on your list.
