Concern vs. Worry

Jehovah-Jireh - God who provides

Jehovah-Rapha - God who heals
El-Shaddai - Almighty God

Worry - sometimes we think,"How can we not?" But we need to keep reminding ourselves, of who God is! If we are battling worry, are we forgetting who God is? So how do we remember who He is, so we do trust in Him?
 On page 40 of my book, we see "three concise and practical steps to victory over worry."
1) Be anxious about nothing.
by 2) Be prayerful about everything.
and 3) Be thankful for all things.

Philippians 4:6-7

We started a saying in Women's Ministry this past year,
EWED - Every Woman Every Day.
This means we are going to try to be in prayer and in God's Word - the Bible, every day. If our minds are filled with the Bible, God's words to us, everyday, it leaves less room in our mind for worry! When we start to worry about something, we can stop and talk, pray, to God to take care of the situation. We trust that nothing is too small or too big for Him. Now, sometimes we need to repeat that a few times to ourselves in order for us to believe it - NOTHING is too small or too big. In my family right now, we are going through some transitions, and many times throughout the day, I am praying, asking God for peace to accept the next moments He has planned for me. Then I rest in my faith that He is in control. I am starting to get excited at what He has in store.

Prayer is a continuous ongoing talk with God - throughout your day.   So, we can be concerned and take action such as - Prayer, Reading God's Word, and looking to God for the answer.   Go to Jesus for Peace, the Prince of Peace.
