“THANK GOD FOR YOUR PROBLEMS. As soon as your mind gets snagged on a difficulty, bring it to GOD with thanksgiving. Then ask GOD to show you HIS way to handle the situation. The very act of thanking GOD releases your mind from its negative focus. As you turn your attention to The LORD, the problem fades in significance and loses its power to trip you up. Together you can deal with the situation, either facing it head-on or putting it aside for later consideration. Most of the situations that entangle your mind are not today’s concerns; you have borrowed them from tomorrow. In this case, The LORD lifts the problem out of today and deposits it in the future, where it is veiled from your eyes. In its place GOD gives you HIS Peace, which flows freely from HIS Presence.”
Scripture
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 6
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” JOHN 14 : 27
Prayer
Prayer: Lord, when my mind gets caught on a difficulty, remind me to pause and thank You for the opportunity to seek Your direction. Show me whether You want me to address the situation now or entrust it to You for another day. Thank You that I never have to carry these burdens or figure things out on my own. You are always faithful, wise, and good. In Jesus’ name, amen.
