Fear Not!! Bring your heavy burdens to the feet of Jesus. Cast your cares upon Him because He cares for you. Often we carry our own burdens as well as the burdens of many we know and love. Problems may be overwhelming, insurmountable, and even heartbreaking. God is still on His throne pouring out His message of strength, hope, forgiveness and restoration.
Father, I ask you to give us joy in you! I choose to rejoice. Let the gentle fruit of your spirit be abundant in my life. You are near, not far away. God, I bring my fear and worry to you. I ask you to protect my children, my spouse, my friends, my neighbors, those serving in our unit. God, today, I specifically need your help with —————————– (fill in the blank). Thank you so much for hearing my prayers. I pray your peace would be like a garrison around my heart. Let me think about things that are true and lovely today. In Jesus Name, Amen.
Phillipians 4: 4-9
4Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
