Paul tells us in Philippians 4 to be “anxious for nothing.” We are not to worry about anything—not one thing!—but to be prayerful and thankful in everything. Is that possible? Not in our own resources, but as we grow in the grace of Jesus Christ, we increasingly learn to cast our cares on Him. We bring everything to Him in prayer, and that keeps us from being anxious about anything. Keep practicing the truth of Philippians 4:6. It’s a verse that grows on us!   Whenever we find ourselves worrying, our first action ought to be to get alone with God and worship Him…. We must realize that He is big enough to solve our problems.
