Hold on to Heavenly Thoughts

Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.—Colossians 3:2 (NIV)

When you loosen your grasp on the outcomes in life and trust there is nothing that God cannot handle, you let go of your worries and let God flow in. He is your ever-present help. When life feels heavy and difficult, look up.

Lord, I will set my mind on things above and not let earthly things get me down. Fill my mind with heavenly thoughts!

Give Your Worries to God

Therefore, I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothes?—Matthew 6:25 (NIV)

Is the cloak of fear affecting your faith? Do you worry about big things and little things, what-ifs and what has already happened? In the above verse, Jesus tells us not to worry. Instead, put all your trust in Him.

Dear God, I give You my worry list so that You may give me Your peace.

Less Judging, More Loving

Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.—Proverbs 3:3 (NIV)

Feel God’s Presence

You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.—Jeremiah 29:13 (NIV)

Prayer to Calm Anxiety
