Don't Worry About Me!

This is the prayer I pray for myself of course...but even more I pray for my friends and family that will be back in America thinking about me and praying for me. I appreciate you prayers...and NEED them. Every time you think of me please pray for my safety and for God's will to come to pass. But once you pray about it...leave it at the altar. Don't worry about me!

Dear God, You have instructed me to not be anxious, worrisome, or overly concerned for any thing...but instead, to bring everything to You in prayer and thanksgiving. If I do this, You have promised me that Your peace, which passes all understanding, shall keep my heart and mind through Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7). I come to You now for myself, my family, my brothers and sisters in Christ, and for those who suffer so much due to anxiety and depression. I pray that You will fill us with Your peace; that You will touch our minds and remind us that we do not need to worry. You are our God and maker. You will handle it for us. Worrying does no good. Help us to realize Lord God, that worry blocks what we need to see or hear coming from You. May we lean on You, talk with You, and spend time in Your Word and before the throne of grace. May we fellowship with other Christians, those who will encourage us, even more so as the day approaches. Right now, this day, we give You our concerns and ask that You will work out all to our good and Your glory. Thank You, Father, for loving us and carrying our burdens. Thank You, Father, for providing our needs. Thank You, Father, for Jesus Christ our Savior and the hope He has given. For it is in His name I pray, Amen.

In other words: If you're gonna pray, don't worry. If you're gonna worry, don't pray. But please choose option A - prayer without worry!
