  1. Bless the Lord, oh my soul, and all that is

  2. within me. Bless His holy name, Sharon, delove it, and

  3. thank you for joining today's morning glory devotion. I am

  4. Amanda Baidu from Harvest Chapel International Dayamico Mercy, and I'll

  5. be taking today's session. Please let's share our confession from

  6. the Book of Joshua, Chapter one, verse eight. This book

  7. of the Law shall not repass out of our mouth,

  8. but I shall meditate in it day and night, that

  9. I may observe to do according to all that is

  10. written in it. For then I will make my way

  11. prosper and then I will have good success. Amen. Please,

  12. let's pray. Father. We thank you so much for today,

  13. and we ask that even as we are about to

  14. hear your word, that you shall prepare our hearts to

  15. receive this word in Jesus name, Amen beloved. Our topic

  16. for today is titled be anxious for Nothing, and our

  17. scripture reading is taken from Philippian's Chapters for overse thirteen.

  18. Be anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer and

  19. supplication with thanksgiving. Let your requests be known to God

  20. and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding will

  21. guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Amen, be

  22. anxious for nothing, brethren. God does not desire for us

  23. to live in a constant state of anxiety and worry,

  24. but rather learn to trust Him in everything with gratitude

  25. in our hearts. Anxiety from a biblical lens can be

  26. defined as a restless, fearful, or uneasy state of mind

  27. regarding future uncertainties or currents burdens of things, stemming from

  28. a failure to trust in God's provision. It is common

  29. to man, but if left unchecked, anxiety can easily become

  30. second nature. Have you ever come across people who were

  31. constantly on age, always worrying about everything, second guessing themselves

  32. about every decision, anticipating the worst events, and being suspicious

  33. about everyone around them. Such people aren't pleasant to hung around,

  34. as they worry so much they turn into permanent complainers

  35. instead of truly enjoying life. Beloved, God created us to

  36. be fruitful and multiplied, and to have life and have

  37. it more abundantly. But worry and anxiety will rob us

  38. of the joy of the present if we allow it.

  39. Instead of being graceful for what we do have, we

  40. imagine the worst possible scenario and meditate on it so

  41. much until it robs us of the present joy and rest.

  42. And God considers this to be an undesirable state. He says,

  43. don't be anxious. Rather cast those cares and beddings before Him, Beloved,

  44. we must make it a habit of casting our cares

  45. through prayer. Every time we feel anxious. Name the beddens

  46. in prayer, blest them and presents them to God, and

  47. pray through them until you sense a release in your spirit.

  48. God gives us peace for our anxious thoughts. But this

  49. is available for those who choose to exchange it in prayer.

  50. Until you learn by practice to cast that anxiety, Brethren,

  51. you will constantly slip feather into fear, desperation, and despair.

  52. There is peace available for your heart and mind, the

  53. kind of peace that surpasses all understanding. So stop holding

  54. onto that anxiety. Come to the place of prayer, cast

  55. their care, and receive the peace of God. Shalom. Our

  56. memory verse is taken from Psalm ninety four Others nineteen.

  57. In the multitude of my anxieties within me, your comforts

  58. delight my soul. Amen. Thank you so much, Father, for today,

  59. for this reminder that whenever we feel anxious, there is

  60. an exchange waiting for us in the place of prayer. Peace.

  61. Teach us not to trust in our own hand or

  62. our own thoughts, but to present everything, every burden, every

  63. care before you and release it unto you that you

  64. may give us your peace. We thank you Father for

  65. this wonderful promise that whenever we cast our cares before you,

  66. you will give us peace. Thank you so much for

  67. being such a good God, and we bless your holy name.

  68. In Jesus' name. We prayed with thanksgiving, Amen, Belaved. Thank

  69. you so much for tuning into today's morning glory devotion.

  70. Lis have a spirit field day and be anxious for

  71. nothing Shalam.
