Worry Less
“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God” (Philippians 4:6).
The other day, I was driving with my cousin from her home to some Bible meetings, when I noticed her air freshener hanging from the rearview mirror. Here is what it said:
Pray More!
Worry Less!
This was a good reminder to a person like me who tends to worry more than he prays. It reminded me of the hymn by John W. Peterson that we often sang as young people. One of the verses went like this:
Why worry when you can pray?
Trust Jesus He’ll be your stay;
Don’t be a doubting Thomas,
Rest fully on His promise:
Why worry, worry, worry, worry,
When you can pray?
The Lord wants us to trust Him at all times in every situation, and have faith that He is in full control.
