"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God" -Philippians 4:6
WOW! Just looking at the first part of this scripture can give you chills! We are being told to not be anxious about anything! Now let me tell you, I can be an anxious person. If the bills need paid, I get anxious, if Abby acts the slightest bit out of normal or a little too normal - I get anxious, you get the picture here I am sure. But here we are being told in the Word, do not be anxious! What a powerful command.
However the Lord gives us further instruction on this. We are not to merely be not anxious and haphazard about it, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving present your requests to God. Now this part, I am working on. Really, let me tell you, I told a lady that we attend church with that if someone was to come by my house when I am supposedly home alone, they would either think that I am a) crazy or b) had someone else in the house with me! Want to know why? It is because I carry on conversations with God just like you and I would. I feel Him speaking to me in my heart and the visits we have in this quiet time are perhaps one of life's best blessings!
So, whether it is talking to God about Abby, her big moments, and little moments, or talking to him about the electricity bill, we chat. I recommend these chats with him to you too!
God Bless You,
Mary
