June 27 – Spending Time with God

Philippians 4

6Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

Matthew 19

26Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

There is an antidote for worry! 

Anxiety is one of the biggest emotional problems that anyone can suffer from. It comes from a fear of the unknown or impending doom. Anxiety can be crippling, especially in the days we are living in now. The pandemic, riots, and racial tensions have thrust most of us into a high-anxiety state. 

Are you feeling any anxiety? None of us have been this way before. The comfortable lives of restaurants, friends, movies, and cuddles have been replaced by the fear of diseases and death. Millions are now overwhelmed by anxiety. But, if you have faith in God, He compels you to live above it. The Bible tells us, “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). 

Prayer is God’s antidote for worry. We can cast every care upon Him. We can thrust upon Him everything that is causing us anxiety. If we can’t control it or change it, God can. “Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible’” (Matthew 19:26, NIV).

God cares about your life and future. He wants you to focus on vision, compassion, love, and your calling. He’ll take care of the rest. God is so great. 

So here’s today’s simple tip to spend time with God: Let go and let God.

You can’t control every person or every situation, but you can let go and let God handle it. You’ll be surprised by the outcome and the peace that will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus. You will be more productive and have less stress. Your faith will grow because you can trust God with every concern and care.

We would like to thank Jesus.net for providing this plan.
