Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; Philippians 4:6 - NKJV “Be anxious for nothing”. The Lord is letting us know that He has dominion over worry and anxiety. 1 Peter 5:7 - KJV Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. We try so hard to be in control of everything. But, how about giving God a chance to be in control? ...
Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite. Psalms 147:5 - KJV We want to see the big picture. If we know the big picture, it helps to sort out the nitty-gritty details. Unfortunately, life doesn’t always allow us to see the big picture and we become bogged down in the weeds. The more we learn, the more we realize how little we know.

God is saying, “Welcome home, I’ve been waiting for you.” There is nothing quite like being in His presence. No matter how far you roam, our loving Father is watching for you. Won’t you enter into His presence today? ...
[!Bible]- 1 Thessalonians 5:18 - KJV In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Do you ever think, “I’m stuck, I don’t know what to pray”? If that’s the case, start by offering prayers of thanksgiving. The scripture doesn’t say, in every good thing give thanks. It says in every thing give thanks. Sometimes it’s hard to thank Him for the trials and the difficult times in life. But, you will find that the greatest blessings grow from praising Him through the toughest times. ...
