Relax and just trust God


The enemy of the people of God loves to play with our minds.  He makes us worry when the Word of God clearly tells us NOT to worry.  Phillipians 4:6 “Be anxious for nothing…”  Over and over the Word of God tells us to “Fear Not” and yet we find ourselves in a constant state of fear.  Well, “God doesn’t give us a spirit of fear, but one of peace, of power, and of a sound mind”.  If God didn’t give it, shake it off.  Ignore fear and anxiety.  It’s not coming from God, it’s coming from the enemy.  We don’t want anything from him.  Relax.  Cover your heart. The breastplate of righteousness “quenches all the fiery darts of the enemy”.  Clear your head.  The helmet of salvation keeps the Word of God constantly flowing through your mind.  It protects you from the lies and tricks of the enemy, which end up giving us anxiety, high blood pressure, stress and disease from stress, etc.  I don’t mean get so relaxed that you don’t do anything at all, but just strive to do your best at all times.  When you need help, ask your Father for help.  “Go boldly to the throne of grace to receive help and mercy in your time of need.”  Go get a cookie off the plate.  God will turn everything the devil meant for harm into a blessing.  “He causes all things to work together for good for those who love him and who are called according to His good purpose.”  God loves you.  Be well.
