I love the book, "Jesus Calling". It is a daily devotional and I read it every morning to start my day and every night to end my day. Yesterday, March 5th, was an amazing post that spoke to my heart!
"Refuse to worry! In this world there will always be something enticing you to worry. That is the nature of a fallen, fractured planet: Things are not as they should be. So the temptation to be anxious is constantly with you, trying to worm its way into your mind. The best defense is continual communication with Me, richly seasoned with thanksgiving. Awareness of My Presence fills your mind with Light and Peace, leaving no room for fear. This awareness lifts you up above your circumstances, enabling you to see problems from My perspective. Live close to Me! Together we can keep the wolves of worry at bay.
Luke 12:25-26, 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
The first line jumped off the page: "REFUSE TO WORRY!" Good words that I need to claim and do each day!
