He's More Than Enough

People today are burdened by so many things. They're stressed out by the job market, family issues, lack of opportunities so on and so forth. People are depressed! The cares of this life, family, money, medical and everyday life can literally drive you crazy! And we try to medicate ourselves with sex, drugs and alcohol. Some people resort to violence. They have fits of rage. This anger can be directed at self or at family or random people. Sometimes this rage is taken out on defenseless animals. The cares of this life can literally drive you crazy! But the Word of God says "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 minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7 NIV
Worrying yourself crazy won't help. Allowing stress to degrade your mental, physical and emotional health is totally contrary to God's will for your life. He has things under control. He's looking for you to trust him. Be anxious for NO-THING! Make your request clearly known to God and allow Him to be Lord in your life.
