If you're feeling
anxious or worried today,
00:00:31.36\00:00:33.86
let me remind
you of two scripture,
00:00:33.90\00:00:36.26
Psalm 56:3 says,
00:00:36.30\00:00:38.23
"When I am afraid,
00:00:38.27\00:00:39.60
I will put my trust in you."
00:00:39.63\00:00:41.37
Philippians 4:6 says,
00:00:41.40\00:00:43.47
"Be anxious for nothing,
00:00:43.51\00:00:44.84
but in everything by
prayer and supplication,
00:00:44.87\00:00:47.81
with thanksgiving,
00:00:47.84\00:00:49.18
let your requests
be made known to God."
00:00:49.21\00:00:51.78
Some of us may recall
00:00:51.81\00:00:53.15
having an intense
fear of thunderstorms
00:00:53.18\00:00:55.35
when we were children.
00:00:55.38\00:00:56.82
Did you ever cry
out to your parents
00:00:56.85\00:00:58.32
in the middle of the night?
00:00:58.35\00:00:59.75
Did they come to
you with comfort?
00:00:59.79\00:01:01.72
Did they stay with you
until you fell asleep again?
00:01:01.76\00:01:04.83
Or did they ignore you
00:01:04.86\00:01:06.43
or tell you to just get over it?
00:01:06.46\00:01:09.46
As adults, you and
I still have things
00:01:09.50\00:01:11.93
that can worry
us or cause anxiety.
00:01:11.97\00:01:14.64
You may have known
poverty and have worried about
00:01:14.67\00:01:16.71
how would you
provide for your children.
00:01:16.74\00:01:19.21
Many of us have faced
the illness of a loved one
00:01:19.24\00:01:21.81
and worried about
what was happening to them.
00:01:21.84\00:01:25.15
Our Heavenly Father
wants us to remember that
00:01:25.18\00:01:27.45
He is always there
00:01:27.48\00:01:29.02
to hold us up in
the storms of life.
00:01:29.05\00:01:31.32
He gives comfort and reassurance
00:01:31.35\00:01:33.25
that He will never leave us.
00:01:33.29\00:01:35.32
And when we do have concerns,
00:01:35.36\00:01:37.33
just take it to Him
00:01:37.36\00:01:38.69
and believe that He
hears and answers us.
00:01:38.73\00:01:43.30
I encourage you
to trust God today
00:01:43.33\00:01:45.43
for whatever or
whoever is worrying you
00:01:45.47\00:01:48.30
or causing you anxiety.
00:01:48.34\00:01:50.61
He really cares for you.
00:01:50.64\00:01:52.27
Dear Daddy,
00:02:00.52\00:02:01.88
I'm being tempted to be
anxious and worried yet again,
00:02:01.92\00:02:05.82
so many things to
be concerned about.
00:02:05.85\00:02:08.52
Fear threatens to
take away my joy, my peace
00:02:08.56\00:02:11.56
and my sanity.
00:02:11.59\00:02:13.23
Thank You so very
much for reminding me that
00:02:13.26\00:02:16.26
when I'm afraid, I
can turn to You in trust.
00:02:16.30\00:02:20.14
You are there for me to
give me comfort and peace.
00:02:20.17\00:02:24.01
Thank You that I can
come to You in prayer
00:02:24.04\00:02:26.71
because You're never too
busy to listen to this child.
00:02:26.74\00:02:30.08
I can tell You all about
the things that scare me.
00:02:30.11\00:02:33.38
And You call me
with the reassurance
00:02:33.42\00:02:35.88
that I'm never alone.
00:02:35.92\00:02:37.75
The problem
might still be there,
00:02:37.79\00:02:39.82
but I don't have to worry
00:02:39.85\00:02:41.42
because You are my daddy,
00:02:41.46\00:02:43.63
who is more
powerful than the problem.
00:02:43.66\00:02:46.73
I can have peace in
the middle of the storm.
00:02:46.76\00:02:49.60
Thank you, Daddy.
00:02:49.63\00:02:51.00
I praise You in the
name of my big brother Jesus.
00:02:51.03\00:02:54.37
Amen.
00:02:54.40\00:02:55.74
Loving Father, You
have proven time and again
00:02:58.44\00:03:01.14
to be greater than my angst,
00:03:01.18\00:03:03.35
for life has given me
plenty of opportunity to worry.
00:03:03.38\00:03:06.58
But You've been faithful
and dependable in trying times,
00:03:06.61\00:03:10.12
and I thank You.
00:03:10.15\00:03:11.72
God, for those who are
facing medical concerns,
00:03:11.75\00:03:15.49
financial woes, job
loss, overwhelming decisions,
00:03:15.52\00:03:20.66
God, help them to
turn their eyes upon You.
00:03:20.70\00:03:23.90
God as long as there is life,
00:03:23.93\00:03:25.43
there will be
something to fret about.
00:03:25.47\00:03:28.10
Teach us to manage our
stress by laying it on You.
00:03:28.14\00:03:31.91
I will trust in You
for You are my peace.
00:03:31.94\00:03:34.81
I will not allow
the enemy to torment me
00:03:34.84\00:03:37.25
with what ifs or
mights or maybes.
00:03:37.28\00:03:41.22
I will stand on the
promises of the Bible.
00:03:41.25\00:03:43.55
I lean on You as my source,
00:03:43.59\00:03:46.05
and I cast my
cares upon Jesus Christ,
00:03:46.09\00:03:48.86
my solid rock.
00:03:48.89\00:03:50.76
Thank You, Faithful Father,
I have no cause to worry.
00:03:50.79\00:03:54.10
Lord I confess,
00:04:02.24\00:04:06.34
Yes, I confess
00:04:06.37\00:04:09.88
Bowing here,
00:04:09.91\00:04:12.98
I find my rest
00:04:13.01\00:04:16.89
And without You,
00:04:16.92\00:04:19.92
I fall apart
00:04:19.95\00:04:23.12
You're the one
00:04:23.16\00:04:25.93
That guides my heart
00:04:25.96\00:04:29.86
Lord, I need You
00:04:29.90\00:04:32.73
Oh I need You
00:04:32.77\00:04:37.77
Every hour,
00:04:37.81\00:04:40.88
I need You
00:04:40.91\00:04:44.71
My one defense, my righteousness
00:04:44.75\00:04:50.55
Oh God, how I need You
00:04:50.59\00:04:53.56
Where sin runs deep,
00:04:57.59\00:05:00.23
Your grace is more
00:05:00.26\00:05:03.57
Where grace is found
00:05:03.60\00:05:06.74
Is where You are
00:05:06.77\00:05:09.87
And where You are, Lord,
00:05:09.90\00:05:12.91
I am free
00:05:12.94\00:05:16.95
Holiness is Christ in me
00:05:16.98\00:05:22.25
Dear Heavenly
Father, I thank You
00:05:27.82\00:05:30.89
that You have promised us
the oil of joy for morning
00:05:30.93\00:05:34.86
with garment of praise
for the spirit of heaviness.
00:05:34.90\00:05:38.27
I thank You that
whenever we feel overwhelmed
00:05:38.30\00:05:41.67
as the psalmist David declared,
00:05:41.70\00:05:44.24
that we can run to the rock,
00:05:44.27\00:05:46.14
Christ Jesus, the
anchor of our heart and soul.
00:05:46.17\00:05:50.78
I thank You that in John 14:27,
00:05:50.81\00:05:54.85
You have promised us
the gift of Your peace,
00:05:54.88\00:05:57.95
and that our hearts
00:05:57.99\00:05:59.32
do not have to be overtaken
00:05:59.35\00:06:01.19
by fear and anxiety.
00:06:01.22\00:06:03.26
For You tell us
not to allow our hearts
00:06:03.29\00:06:06.09
to be troubled, or to be afraid
00:06:06.13\00:06:09.03
but rather,
00:06:09.06\00:06:10.40
that we should
think on these things
00:06:10.43\00:06:12.53
as in Philippians 4:8,
00:06:12.57\00:06:14.84
"Whatsoever things are true,
00:06:14.87\00:06:17.11
whatsoever things are honest,
whatsoever things are just,
00:06:17.14\00:06:22.04
whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things are lovely,
00:06:22.08\00:06:26.55
whatsoever things
are of good report,
00:06:26.58\00:06:29.58
if there be any virtue
and if there be any praise,
00:06:29.62\00:06:33.99
think on these things."
00:06:34.02\00:06:36.79
Father, I pray for those today
00:06:36.83\00:06:39.13
who are feeling
anxious or overwhelmed,
00:06:39.16\00:06:42.33
weighted down by
the cares of this life.
00:06:42.36\00:06:45.33
I pray that You will be a
hedge of protection about them.
00:06:45.37\00:06:49.10
I pray, Father, that
You will guard their minds
00:06:49.14\00:06:51.71
and that they will feel
Your love surround them.
00:06:51.74\00:06:54.71
I thank You
00:06:54.74\00:06:56.08
that You are in complete control
00:06:56.11\00:06:57.95
of every storm that
we face in this life
00:06:57.98\00:07:01.32
and that we can find
rest in Your perfect peace.
00:07:01.35\00:07:05.85
We choose to trust You,
Lord, and we thank You in faith.
00:07:05.89\00:07:10.56
In Jesus' name I pray.
00:07:10.59\00:07:12.66
Amen.
00:07:12.69\00:07:16.46
Most gracious and
loving Father in heaven,
00:07:16.50\00:07:19.10
you told us in 2
Timothy 1:7, that
00:07:19.13\00:07:23.44
"You have not given
us a spirit of fear,
00:07:23.47\00:07:25.84
but a spirit of power,
00:07:25.87\00:07:27.38
and of love and
of a sound mind."
00:07:27.41\00:07:30.18
Knowing this, Father,
00:07:30.21\00:07:31.55
we should always
rejoice in the Lord.
00:07:31.58\00:07:33.11
And I will say again, rejoice!
00:07:33.15\00:07:35.25
We should never be
anxious for anything, Father,
00:07:35.28\00:07:37.79
knowing that all
we have to do is pray
00:07:37.82\00:07:39.52
and ask for thanksgiving,
and the peace of God
00:07:39.55\00:07:42.36
which passes all understanding
00:07:42.39\00:07:44.46
will guard our
heart and our mind
00:07:44.49\00:07:46.49
through Christ Jesus.
00:07:46.53\00:07:48.53
Amen.
00:07:48.56\00:07:50.80
Dear Heavenly Father,
00:07:50.83\00:07:52.93
today as we contemplate
the topic of anxiety and worry,
00:07:52.97\00:07:58.44
we can see a definite rise
00:07:58.47\00:08:00.34
in anxiety and
worry among people today.
00:08:00.38\00:08:04.18
We also find that
00:08:04.21\00:08:05.81
You speak a lot about this topic
00:08:05.85\00:08:07.92
in Your Holy Scriptures.
00:08:07.95\00:08:10.99
Open our eyes, open my eyes,
00:08:11.02\00:08:14.99
that I will be
able to see the need
00:08:15.02\00:08:17.13
to be spending
more time with You.
00:08:17.16\00:08:20.20
Help me, Lord, to set
aside the distracting things
00:08:20.23\00:08:23.37
in my life,
00:08:23.40\00:08:24.73
so that I may spend more time
00:08:24.77\00:08:26.57
reading and studying
Your Word, the Bible.
00:08:26.60\00:08:30.77
As I spend more time with You,
00:08:30.81\00:08:32.97
less time will be spent
being anxious and worrying
00:08:33.01\00:08:36.78
about the things of this world.
00:08:36.81\00:08:39.81
Lord, help me to
trust Your promises,
00:08:39.85\00:08:42.88
and share with those around me.
00:08:42.92\00:08:46.15
Amen.
00:08:46.19\00:08:49.86
Lord, sometimes
the devil comes at us
00:08:49.89\00:08:51.89
trying to make us think that
00:08:51.93\00:08:53.26
we're never
going to be good enough
00:08:53.29\00:08:54.66
to enter the kingdom,
00:08:54.70\00:08:56.23
that we're fall
short on pleasing You,
00:08:56.26\00:08:59.37
that we're on the
path of destruction.
00:08:59.40\00:09:01.40
But in You we find the
strength and the wisdom,
00:09:01.44\00:09:04.24
the guiding
light, our reassurance
00:09:04.27\00:09:06.64
that we can do all
things through You.
00:09:06.68\00:09:08.84
Please stay with me and teach me
00:09:08.88\00:09:12.01
and place my feet on the
path that will take me to You.
00:09:12.05\00:09:15.35
Because the day that
You return with Your angels,
00:09:15.38\00:09:18.35
please let me be
counted as Yours.
00:09:18.39\00:09:20.96
I want to hear You say,
00:09:20.99\00:09:22.32
"Well done, my good
and faithful servant."
00:09:22.36\00:09:24.73
Please Lord, in
Your name I pray.
00:09:24.76\00:09:26.96
Amen.
00:09:27.00\00:09:28.33
So teach my song to rise to You
00:09:31.63\00:09:36.77
When temptation comes my way
00:09:36.81\00:09:40.94
And when I cannot
stand, I'll fall on You
00:09:40.98\00:09:46.31
Jesus, You're my hope and stay
00:09:46.35\00:09:52.32
Lord, I need You,
00:09:52.35\00:09:55.42
Oh I need You
00:09:55.46\00:10:00.46
Every hour,
00:10:00.50\00:10:04.07
I need You
00:10:04.10\00:10:07.60
My one defense,
00:10:07.64\00:10:10.54
My righteousness
00:10:10.57\00:10:14.18
Oh God, how I need You
00:10:14.21\00:10:18.15
I love Matthew
6:33-34, that says,
00:10:21.88\00:10:26.25
"But seek first
the kingdom of God
00:10:26.29\00:10:28.19
and His righteousness
00:10:28.22\00:10:29.59
and all these things
will be added to you.
00:10:29.62\00:10:32.29
Therefore do not be
anxious about tomorrow,
00:10:32.33\00:10:34.50
for tomorrow will
be anxious for itself,
00:10:34.53\00:10:37.43
sufficient for
today is its own trouble."
00:10:37.47\00:10:40.44
Dear Lord, I lift up
those who are listening
00:10:44.37\00:10:49.71
and facing issues.
00:10:49.74\00:10:55.58
They're recuperating
from recent surgeries,
00:10:55.62\00:10:58.99
recuperating from
viruses and diseases.
00:10:59.02\00:11:02.72
Father, I ask for
Your healing power
00:11:02.76\00:11:05.06
to give them the
strength to persevere
00:11:05.09\00:11:08.76
as they recuperate.
00:11:08.80\00:11:12.53
Restore them, oh God.
00:11:12.57\00:11:15.74
Father, I pray that
00:11:15.77\00:11:17.11
You would grant
patience and tolerance
00:11:17.14\00:11:20.91
for families who
are living together.
00:11:20.94\00:11:24.35
Father, multiple
people in one house
00:11:24.38\00:11:28.18
can sometimes be an
adjustment and frustrating.
00:11:28.22\00:11:32.92
My God, I pray that
You will give them love
00:11:32.95\00:11:35.02
and compassion for one another,
00:11:35.06\00:11:37.96
patience and tolerance.
00:11:37.99\00:11:42.00
Lord, I pray for
those who need a touch
00:11:42.03\00:11:46.57
in their finances,
00:11:46.60\00:11:48.64
who are looking for work.
00:11:48.67\00:11:51.07
Father, that You
will open the door
00:11:51.11\00:11:52.64
for job opportunities.
00:11:52.67\00:11:56.08
And, Lord, that
You will give those
00:11:56.11\00:11:59.91
that are looking,
00:11:59.95\00:12:01.45
give them patience to
wait for the right job,
00:12:01.48\00:12:05.45
for the job that
they know is of You.
00:12:05.49\00:12:08.39
God, grant us
wisdom and discernment
00:12:08.42\00:12:11.06
in our employment, oh Lord.
00:12:11.09\00:12:14.90
Father, I pray for those
who need protection and safety.
00:12:14.93\00:12:20.10
Lord, there are those who
00:12:20.14\00:12:23.57
due to some tragic
event or situation,
00:12:23.61\00:12:28.44
their families are estranged.
00:12:28.48\00:12:31.95
Lord, I ask
that You will restore
00:12:31.98\00:12:34.22
broken relationships.
00:12:34.25\00:12:38.15
And, Father, for those
who are seeking marriage
00:12:38.19\00:12:43.12
for a godly partner.
00:12:43.16\00:12:44.93
Lord, I pray that You
would again grant patience
00:12:44.96\00:12:50.67
as they wait for
the right person.
00:12:50.70\00:12:53.30
Lord, lead us,
00:12:53.34\00:12:54.80
direct us.
00:12:57.94\00:12:59.81
We can't do a thing without You.
00:12:59.84\00:13:02.48
Anytime we even
try we realize that
00:13:02.51\00:13:04.98
we make a mess of things.
00:13:05.01\00:13:09.25
Father, You are so good.
00:13:09.28\00:13:10.62
We thank You that You
are taking away anxiety,
00:13:10.65\00:13:13.42
You are taking away worry.
00:13:13.46\00:13:15.62
We can trust in
You at all times,
00:13:15.66\00:13:18.39
to be our
Father, to be our Savior,
00:13:18.43\00:13:22.36
to care about every
aspect that we go through.
00:13:22.40\00:13:26.43
So I say...
00:13:26.47\00:13:27.80
Lord, I need You,
00:13:27.84\00:13:29.47
Oh I need You
00:13:29.50\00:13:34.58
Every hour,
00:13:34.61\00:13:37.55
I need You
00:13:37.58\00:13:40.65
You are my one defense
00:13:40.68\00:13:44.29
You are my righteousness
00:13:44.32\00:13:48.16
