The continuing pandemic and other recent events in our country and around the world have many people worried about the future. One of the biggest waste of our time is to worry. Worry is a useless act and does nothing to change your situation. Worry drains you physically, wears you out mentally, disrupts your emotional status, and still does nothing to help you with what you are facing. Have you gone through one tough time with peace that God is with you and has everything under control, only to go through the next situation and find yourself worrying what tomorrow holds for you? The good news is that you can regain your peace of mind again. You just have to get a grip on your thought process. (Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.) The next time you feel yourself beginning to get nervous, starting to complain, feeling anxious about what is transpiring, or starting to worry over something you can’t control, stop and pray a simple heartfelt prayer to God. Release the situation into God’s hands and ON PURPOSE believe God is going to make a difference and work things out in your favor. Peace of mind is one of our most valuable treasures in life. It is impossible to enjoy the life God has given us without it. Don’t be tricked into believing you can’t help what you think, because you can with the help of the Holy Spirit. Get a grip on your thoughts and you will cease the worrying. You can begin to know what true peace is. Pastor Don [image: image.png]
