“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” (Philip 4:6, 7)

This is again one of the most wonderful scriptures in the Bible. The danger for me is to read it, like it, even preach it but fail to apply it in my present circumstances. That danger ‘to be a hearer and refuse to be a doer’ of the Word, is in fact a very common deception coming from the devil (Jam 1:22).
So this early morning, as I allow the truth of God to sink deep in my spirit, I decide (once more) to obey the Word. In other words, from this very moment, I will completely refuse to be worried about anything at all that concerns me. I shall not worry about my health issues, financial or family things. Let the world divide itself into two, I shall not worry at all. Why? Because God commands me not to, and I really want to obey His Word! No matter the situation, I shall refuse to allow anxiety find a space in my heart. Does this sound as a crazy woman’s wish? Let it be so, let it sound crazy or impossible, but I have made up my mind to honor God’s Word and not worry anymore!

Anxiety takes a lot of energy out of a person. Unchecked, it becomes a mental sickness. Who wants that? Nobody! Then if I don’t worry, what will I use my time, my emotions and strength to do? I shall pray? Pray for what? “In everything by prayer…” From this morning on, I shall pray about all things, big and small. I shall believe that God hears my prayers and that He has all what it takes to solve my problems. I shall believe that prayer is the contact point between heaven and earth.

Question: Is it that God does not know about my problems? Of course He knows all things. But He commands me to pray for everything. I shall accept the challenge to think that without Jesus I can do nothing. But in Christ, I can do all things! So I will take everything that comes my way as a point of prayer. I will pray more and not less. I shall be more grateful for this opportunity to pray for everything. Thanksgiving shall become my foundational thinking. All men have problems and anxieties, but not all know Jesus, and not all pray. I recognize that I am a part of the blessed holy remnant of God’s people; I am not perfect but I am a prayer warrior. I appreciate this wonderful privilege and supernatural way of knowing God, therefore I am grateful. Then the peace of God will come and surround me, cover and heal my soul. Peace makes me happy! Then my body shall be healed too!

I refuse to borrow the chronic anxieties of my parents, my teachers, my neighbors or my doctors. I refuse that burden! I shall be free from anxiety and I shall pray! This life style shall define me from today on. Are you trying to imagine how will my life be? Without the load of daily anxieties and filled to the brim with prayers and praise, how will my life be? It has to be better, no doubt at all! It has to be easier, no doubt at all! Christ in me, the hope of Glory will shine brighter for all to see… I can only win and I can never lose…I shall be happy, free, supernaturally wise and strong. Miracles shall follow me. They have to! So, here the holy adventure begins!
