We go to sleep worried that we won\u2019t wake up. We wake up worried that we didn\u2019t sleep. We worry that someone will discover that lettuce was fattening all along. Wouldn\u2019t you love to stop worrying? Could you use a strong shelter from life\u2019s harsh elements?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

God offers you just that. The possibility of a worry-free life. Not just <\/span><\/span>less<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em> worry, but <\/span><\/span>no<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em> worry. <\/span><\/span>Philippians 4:7<\/b><\/span><\/span> says, \u201c<\/span><\/span>His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/span>\u201d Worry is an option, not an assignment. Be quick to pray. Rather than worry about anything, Scripture says, \u201cpray about everything.\u201d Focus less on the problems ahead and more on the victories behind. In <\/span><\/span>everything <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em>let your requests be made known to God! Do your part, and God will for sure do his.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
