Philippians 4: 6 – 7 (MSG)
6 Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns.
7 Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.
What do you do when worry sets in? Turn your moment of worry to worship. Shape your worries into prayer and praises to God. The easiest escape route is to turn the moments of worries into worship, praise and thanksgiving. Cultivate the attitude of gratitude. Place Christ at the center of everything, He is enough for us!
What seems to be a terrible situation will turn to be joyful moments, what seems to be not enough will become more than enough. Value the gift of life more than the things of life. The fact that you are alive is a proof that something big lies ahead of you and that God is not done with you.
Proverbs 17: 22 (KJV)
A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
Ephesians 5: 19 (KJV)
Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord
Worry breeds sadness and weakens the body. Replace the energy you exhaust when you worry and turn it to moments of worship. Be a worshipper, practice gratitude; listen to spirit filled music, charge your atmosphere with joy and drive away sad spirit. Make melody in your heart, sing to the Lord a new song and the joy of the Lord will fill you from the inside out. You must be intentional about this!
