Our God Reigns

"Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, ,will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Phil 4:6-7

How sweet is it to know that He has everything under control. It's so easy to become overwhelmed and anxious. God is telling us that the best cure for a worried heart is to turn it over to Him. Pray. Present your requests to Him, and do it with thanksgiving. I think it's hard for us to remember how blessed we are when we are worried or anxious over something. In those moments it seems like everything good just vanishes and all we can focus on is what the worry is about. We are blinded to the fact that God is still working and moving in us and around us. If nothing else in my life turned out like I thought it should, my life would still be overflowing with the most amazing blessings. It's so important to give God thanksgiving. After all, we would be nothing and have nothing if it were not for Him. Once you have done this, the peace will come. A peace so sweet it takes your breath away. It wraps around your soul like a blanket, making you feel all warm and safe inside. I love that peace. I love that God wants me to know that He loves me and He is taking care of everything. He wants us to know that there is nothing more "we" can do. It is in His hands, and what a better place for our worries to be! Letting go can be hard sometimes. I don't know why we want to hold on to things like worry, fear or anxiety . . . but we do. Let go today. Whatever is causing anxiety in your life, unneeded stress, or fear.

I love music as you can probably tell, but I have another song to share with you. I just downloaded the new Bethel Live worship album and it is great

"God I Look to You" Bethel Live

God I look to You
I won't be overwhelmed
Give me vision to see things like You do
God I look to You
You're where my help comes from
Give me wisdom, You know just what to do

I will love You Lord my strength
I will love you Lord my shield
I will love You Lord my rock
Forever all my days, I will love you God

Hallelujah our God reigns
Hallelujah our God reigns
Hallelujah our God reigns
Forfever all my days Hallelujah


I'm so thankful that He reigns and I don't!!! I have a prayer request today. Mom is going back to UAB to have a final scan. Please pray that she will experience that sweet peace today and she will hear that the scan is fine! Thank you all.
