OF STONES AND ANXIETY

Scripture Reference: Matthew 6:25-34

One of the signs that I'm getting too busy and overwhelms by life is when I go into a room and find I can't remember why I walked in there. I think we've all experienced forgetting what it was that we were searching for at some time in our life. Sadly, there are many people who are searching for meaning in their lives, trying to find comfort and hope for both today and tomorrow, yet they have forgotten that God is part of the search. The Spirit of God is nudging them forward while the anxieties of the past and today are clouding their vision of who they seek. When are we focused on what we fear losing we lose the ability to seek the kingdom where there is no fear. We need to stay God centered, lest the world's concerns will crush us. Seek the peace of Christ, Soar into the day on the wings of the Holy Spirit, find your home in the heavenly Father.
Prayer: Lord of creation, you brought order out of chaos, and called it good; you caused the flood waters to recede and gave creation a second chance; you gave Ruth hope even after her husband and father in-law had died; you kept Esther calm while the second in command planned to kill off her people. Help me to hear your voice of assurance today. Strengthen my faith, hope, and courage, casting out the fears and the anxieties of doubt. Let me carry on the work you began in Peter, the rock. Amen.
