It is so hard not to be "anxious". There are so many things that prompt us to be so. Take a relationship situation - take a financial difficulty – take a health problem - take a marriage problem - take finding a new job after being downsized again - take ...whatever and you have the makings of an anxious nature.
Yet, when we turn to the Word we read (Phil. 4:6) "In nothing be anxious."
In
what? In nothing. That means nothing. Now - that's a heavy trip. No matter how
great our trials, no matter how hard pressed our afflictions - God says,
"In nothing be anxious". In the context of the above passage the
words continue..."in everything". So, if God means what He says, and
says what He means - it is in everything. So that translates to when there is a car accident, when there is serious illness with a spouse, when there is lack of financial means, when there is the smallest negative thing, we are to communicate with our Heavenly Father.
The Lord has promised us peace in the situation. He has devised a means that we not be anxious. That means is to present our request to Him. If you feel your soul in turmoil, if you feel yourself overwhelmed, pray, "Lord, I trust you in this situation and I will ask you to help me not be anxious."
