“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.”
Philippians 4:6-7, NKJV.
What a thought, you guys, that God, the one that created everything, and without whom everything would collapse, He cares so much about each and every one of us that when we pray to Him, He answers our prayers! Maybe he doesn't always reply the way we want Him to, but we can be sure that He, who knows so much more and sees so much further than we do, knows what is best for us, better than we know it ourselves.
Some days, when life genuinely sucks and I feel like giving up on everything and everyone, this is the only thing that keeps me going.
I get to give it all to God, and say "God, life is just too much for me to deal with right now. I need you to carry both me and all the worries and thoughts I'm carrying around on my own at the moment, they're getting too heavy for me." Then I get to trust that He will do so, and that He is in control, even when I'm not. And I can trustfully, (even if it can sometimes be the hardest part of my Christian life) follow His plan for my life, because I can be sure that He will only lead me the way He sees is the best for me.
“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30
Have a peaceful night! PT
