I’m sure most of you know what Philippians 4:6 says.
In case you don’t, it says:
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. –Philippians 4:6.
I like the translation of this verse that I heard recently:
“Worry about nothing, pray about everything, and give thanks for anything.”
I like that, a lot. The only problem is, a lot of times, it’s a lot harder than we think. I’ve had to remind myself lately that worrying is a sin. Did you realize that?
How many times did Jesus command us “do not worry?”
- Matthew 6:31
- Matthew 6:34
- Matthew 10:19
- Mark 13:11
- Luke 12:11
- Luke 12:22
Just to list a few. I guess “do not worry” means, well, “do not worry.”
How often do we view our worrying in direct violation of His commandment?
May He Increase!
