Good Morning To All,

Our Spiritual Vitamin today is A for: ANXIETY

1 Peter 5:7 says that we are to, "Cast all our anxiety on God because He cares for us."

Aniexty: A state of being uneasy, apprehensive, or worried about what may or may not happen.

Wow! If you are guilty of this at some time on a daily basis, then raise your "virtual hand!"

Anxiety, at its highest point, is like putting your "worry" on steroids! This is not good for your

heart, mind, or your spirit. As children of God we need to recognize that worrying is a sin against

our heavenly Father because He loves us and only wants the best for His children. Psalms 56:3

says, "when we are afraid, we will put or trust in the Lord." I know often it is easier said than done,

but it can be done. We need to humble and quiet down our spirits, and then through our love and

respect to God, go to Him in prayer and tell Him about the things that are our concerns, and when

we finish, thank Him for listening, leave those "issues" at His feet for good, and push on forward.

Those of us who are still waiting to be approved, or are on our pre-op liquids getting ready for our

surgery, are finding it hard not to worry. We are anxious if we will even be approved, how the surgery

will go, and if there will be any complications. Well, I would like to give this scripture to you all, as well

as myself: Romans 8:28 says, "All things work out to the good for those who love God, and are callled

according to His purpose!" So let us stop concentrating on "what could happen," and start meditating on

"what Gods is making happen!" Say this to yourself everyday, that " I am persuaded as your child Lord,

because of your merciful love for me, that you are able and willing to take care of all my concerns, and I tie

them up together, giving them to you Lord, and I will not be anxious on those anymore because I know that

the one who holds all power, has them in His hands."

You will be amazed at how calm you will begin to feel everyday. It really works for me!! I'm being sleeved on

March 15, and I'm going with God!

FOOD FOR THOUGHT: " LAUGHING TIL' IT HURTS, IS A PAIN WORTH HAVING!"
