We need to not worry about anything and take each day, day by day, praying and counting our blessings!
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God
what you need, and thank him for all he has done.
~Philippians 4:6
Brothers and sisters:
If then you were raised with Christ, seek what is above,
where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
Think of what is above, not of what is on earth.
For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
When Christ your life appears,
then you too will appear with him in glory.
~Colossians 3:1-4
I am currently reading this book this year. It offers a nice Bible verse, write-up, and prayer for each day of the year. I am enjoying it. My father always loved Billy Graham. He used to like to watch him when we were kids on TV, The minister, Billy Graham, was very popular in the 1970's and had many crusades and TV shows. He spoke of Jesus constantly and how we needed to repent and turn from sin. I agree that worry is futile. It does nothing, thinking negatively, being unhappy, and living in misery just is not a healthy approach to life at all. We see so many today who are unhappy and so negative and hateful. I always say, I am not going to join the hate club. I know a lot of people who seem so unhappy and negative today. Some worry about things of this world too much, yes, our world is a mess and most elected and governments are evil and self-serving. There is a lot of evil, wickedness, and sin in the world. A lot of greed, corruption, and fraud, a lot from our governments and elected, just so much mediocrity. Today we even see our news medias complicit with the evil and giving a pass to all the bad and evil. It is sad to see the cover up and complicity. It is hard to say and do, but we just cannot worry about all of that. Yesterday I was reading an article about how the mRNA vaccine taken by many people has caused the destruction of people pineal gland, which impacts emotions/personality, and even spirituality in people, it may explain why so many today seem different prior to COV19 and the vaccine and all. Perhaps it is true it has impacted people and how they are now. Nonetheless, we need to stay focused on what is above, like the Bible verse from Easter Sunday spoke of. Today so many are without God, they get consumed by things of this world and forget about God and what Jesus said. I always say that it is better to live being grateful, loving, positive, and joyful in the Lord! When we count our blessings it helps so to not fall into self-pity or despair. We need to also pray for others, nonstop praying, I know a lot of people who need prayers, the lonely, the sick, the addicts, the one in despair, so many need prayers. We all need them. When we turn our prayers to God for others, we do not need to worry so much, counting our blessings help too. We need to ask God to keep our eyes centered on Him! That is why God gave us Jesus, Emmanuel, God with us, Jesus is our example, our model of how to live. We are called to follow, reflect, and imitate Him! Loving our God and others as ourselves! I highly recommend this book and love these Bible verses! I hope you do too! Don't worry! Turn it all over to God! Everything is going to be okay! Pray, count your blessings, be positive, loving, and joyful in the Lord!
