"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving present your requests to God." I have read this verse probably a thousand times over my Christian journey. Different things the Lord speaks to us out of this verse.
- Do not be anxious - that is a word for us today! We get so anxious about the things that are going on in our lives.
- Pray about everything - that is the antidote for anxiety, and yet we have a hard time with prayer, praying, and seeking the Lord.
- But the one I want to think about is with THANKSGIVING. What will a thankful heart, spirit do in our spiritual journey. It will help us to be steady in the good and in the difficult times of life, realizing that Jesus is with me all of the time.
I have had the privilege this week to talk with someone that got some very difficult news, and that the goal of this person was to finish the battle well! There was no sounds of bitterness and anger towards God, for what they are going through. They had a thankful spirit because of all that God has done in their lives!
Not only during this time of Thanksgiving, but I want to incorporate with thanksgiving into my life!
Thankful for you,
Pastor Ron
