Do not be anxious about anything!


This short devotional really spoke to me this morning.  I don't know that I have ever thought about dealing with our cares and worries the same way we deal with our sin.  -Laying them at Christ's feet and leaving them there; they should no longer be binding to us.  He has our paths planned, and we will be able to serve Him more completely and with greater joy if we will lay our worries at His feet and simply trust His promises and walk down the path He has set before us.

(James Smith, "Daily Food for the Lord's Flock!" 1848)

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God!" Philippians 4:6

Prayer is . . .
  always seasonable,
  always necessary,
  and always profitable!

We should do with our cares as we do with our sins--carry them to Jesus, and cast them on Him.

In every place the throne of grace is near--at all times God is accessible to us. Every trouble furnishes us with a message to Him!

"Cast all your care upon Him, for He ever cares for you!" 1 Peter 5:7
