Giving it to God

Many of us get time in our lives where we are anxious about something. Whether it is a big test coming up, or speech, or maybe the championship game, we all get anxious about something. With that, we tend to worry or get angry or just get plain out confused. So over this past week, these verses have come up a lot, and they fit the situation on which I'm writing on. Philippians 4:6-7 says, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Jesus Christ." This verse is saying that when we get anxious about anything, we need to let God know and give the situation to Him. When we pray to God and thank Him for taking care of our anxious hearts, He gives us peace. With this, he will guard your heart and mind against anxious thoughts. If you don't give God your troubled heart, then there is no way for Him to guard you and give you peace. And for me, I would like to have peace, then an anxious heart filled with worry, and hatred, and confusion. So whatever you are anxious about, just give it all to the Lord.

Dear Heavenly Father
Thank you for allowing me to lay all my trouble at your feet and that you will take care of it. I lay all my worries at your feet. Amen.
