June 4 A Place of Rest

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7

It's hard not to get caught up in anxious thoughts about a difficult situation but this anxiety can consume our time and energy. Pray to God about your situation and have full trust that the problem is God's. By transferring ownership of the situtation to God we don't need to be wrapped up in it, it is His. Our anxiety comes from a false sense of control that we are responsible to manipulate the crisis to work out for good but that's God's job. Let go of your will and let your heart and your mind be at peace.
