Need Encouragement?

Worry
|
|
I woke up this morning with worry on my heart. I immediately began to pray. The thought occurred to me that worry is nothing more than negative thoughts. I believe the following words that came to me were from God: Turn a worry into a prayer. After all, God knows our thoughts. Turn a worry into a prayer and the thoughts will be productive rather than destructive.

I think that makes much sense.

Love the practicality in that, Glenna, great idea. Interesting, isn't it; the negatives have the potential positives, if we are oriented toward God. Nice!
Praying with you,
Tom

I love this because now I know, the minute I worry I turn it into prayer.

I like this, and offer a similar thought. When faced with a temptation, turn the temptation into a verbal "Praising of God". Two or more things happen, 1) my mind goes to God, and the temptation lessens, 2) I believe if the dark spirit knows that temptation leads to Praising of God rather then succumbing to the temptation, he drops the temptation - the "wrong" fruit (as far as he is concerned) is developed. And the praising out loud helps to "resist the devil", in my mind.

You have the word in your heart, Glenna
1 Pet 5
6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may
lift you up in due time. 7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares
for you.
8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a
roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9 Resist him, standing firm
in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout
the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
