Be Anxious for Nothing

       Good Afternoon everyone,
            I just wanted to share what The Lord has been laying on my heart lately.  He's speaking to me louder than ever before through these Bible Verses:  "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."  These verses are found in Philippians 4: 6-7. 

    I didn't choose these Bible Verses, it was God who put them on my heart and brought them to my attention.  Anyway, I've been feeling quite stressed out and anxious lately because of all that's currently going on in my life.  It seems like it's just too much to handle at times, especially right now.  I don't even know what to pray about anymore,  there's a lot and where do I even start?  I feel like I'm drowning in my thoughts and there's no way out.  I know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, I'm just not really seeing the reasons for why this is happening to all of us.  "Jesus, if you can hear us, we need you and more answers, you are the great physician and only you can heal the sick and raise the dead in us.  Please help! Thank you, lord, I love you amen."  "Lord, please take these burdens off of our shoulders, we can't handle this anymore, I'm letting go and letting you take control, I give up, I can't do this anymore, enough already, thank you, Lord, I love you, amen."  

  The Lord lead me to share this with all of you, and I hope you enjoy these blog updates as much as I do.  So, I guess my thoughts and reflections on the above verses will be this:  I'm thinking that God is trying to tell us to not be anxious and let him take care of these current situations.  There is a reason for all of this, but I just don't know what it is yet.  None of us know the reason for this yet.  What can we honestly do here?  All we can really do is have faith and keep praying about these tumultuous occurrences in our otherwise peaceful lives.  All we really want is answers and a cure, there's just nothing else we can do at this point.  It's out of our hands, it's in God's hands now.  Thank you and God Bless! Have a good rest of the day.
