Listen to the Word
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7)

What is the biggest anxiety you are carrying right now? You have a choice about how to handle it – you can either worry about it, which leaves it in your hands, or you can pray about it, which places it in God’s hands.

Imagine God speaking these words to you: “That load you are carrying – it is too heavy for you. I didn’t design you to handle something like that. It will crush you. Please release it. Trust me with it. You can trust me with anything. Bring it to me in prayer. Trade it in for my peace that transcends all understanding.”

Live the Word
Spend a moment in prayer, asking God to take control of the situations that trigger your anxiety, and asking him to take control of your anxious heart.
