Devotional Thinking..

Attacking Anxiety

Have you ever been stressed? Ever been a little anxious? Me, too. The
things that weigh us down can be as small as trying to make something fit into our schedules, to as big as the health of a loved one. And in almost every instance, they are things over which we have no control. No matter what it is that weighs us down, God has a better way to handle our stress. “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” (NAS Philippians 4:6)

Stop. Go back and read the last sentence again.

Did you catch it? Did you notice the subject of that sentence? Think back
to elementary grammar class. It is the “Understood You!” “[YOU] Be anxious for nothing…” It caught me by surprise several years ago when I realized that this is a command. It is an imperative. Thankfully we serve a kind and good God who never commands us to do anything that we are incapable of doing. God shows us the way to live worry free in the second half of this verse. “…by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”

The key to overcoming anxiety is found in those two simple words “with
thanksgiving.” Too often we worry with our prayers. What should be a time of giving our fears over to God, becomes just another vehicle for expressing our worry! Even as we approach the Prince of Peace we are so overcome by anxiety that we end up pleading with God to meet our needs rather than trusting Him to provide for us. But we can be thankful that God holds the future in His hands.

We can be thankful that God has promised to meet our needs. In fact,
just a few verses later, Paul tells the Philippians, “And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” (NAS Philippians 4:19) God knows what the provision for our
need is before we even ask!

This week’s homework: Don’t worry! Be thankful! Make your requests known to God through thankful prayer.

October Sunday School Series: Nooma

YOUNG ADULT MINISTRY
SUNDAY SCHOOL
OCTOBER , 2008
9:40 & 11:00 am
Room 600 Upstairs
We invite all Young Adults
to be a part of our newest Sunday School
class at Faith.

NOISE: Why is silence so hard to deal with? Why
is it so much easier for us to live our lives with a lot of things going on all
the time than to just be in silence? We’re constantly surrounded with
“voices” that are influencing us on how to think, feel, and behave.
There’s always something going on. But maybe there’s a connection
between the amount of noise in our lives and our inability to hear God. If
God sometimes feels distant to us, maybe it’s not because he’s not
talking to us, but simply because we aren’t really listening.
Do you listen to God?

SUNDAY: Why do we do the things we do? Why do
we go to church or give money away? Because we’re supposed to or
because we think God needs it? God hates it when we call ourselves
Christians but ignore all the things he really cares about. He hates it
when we go through hollow routines out of some feeling of duty or obligation.
God doesn’t want the meaningless rituals. God wants our hearts.
Does God have your heart?

KICKBALL: We always think we know what’s
missing from our lives in order to really make us happy, don’t we? If only
I had that car, or that job, or if only I could lose those 15 lbs, then I’d be
happy. Really? How often do we want something only to find out that it
wasn’t that great after all. Do we trust that God is good and sees a bigger
picture than we ever could? It’s easy to want what’s right in front of
us, but maybe God knows what’s better for us, and sometimes we just
can’t see it.
Do you really trust God?

LUGGAGE: Maybe a friend turned their back on
you. Maybe someone you loved betrayed you. We all have wounds and
we end up carrying around these things that people have done to us for
weeks, months, and sometimes even years. So the only way to feel
better seems to be somehow getting back at the people that hurt us, to
get revenge. But does revenge ever truly satisfy? Maybe forgiving isn’t
something you do for someone else to let them off the hook. Maybe
forgiveness is about you. God didn’t create you to carry these wounds
around, God created you to be free.
Are you free?

Ponder this....Noise

Why is silence so hard to deal with? Why is it so much easier for us to live our lives with a lot of things going on all the time than to just be in silence? We’re constantly surrounded with “voices” that are influencing us on how to think, feel, and behave. Movies, music, TV, Internet, cell phones, and a never-ending barrage of advertising. There’s always something going on. Always noise in our lives. But maybe there’s a connection between the amount of noise in our lives and our inability to hear God. If God sometimes feels distant to us, maybe it’s not because he’s not talking to us, but simply because we aren’t really listening.
