"Anxious Solution"

"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God."  Philippians 4:6

The word careful here also means anxious.  How do you handle life's situations?  Is your solution to be anxious and worry?  Do you think that if you worry enough about it it will go away?  Or that it will solve it?  Many people must think that worrying and being anxious is the answer to their problems because they spend a whole lot of time and effort doing it.

Worrying about the problem never solves it.  Being anxious about the situation has never made it better.  On the contrary, it only made it worse.  It robbed you of peace.  It made you feel more hopeless.  It leads to depression.  It consumed your energy.  And so on. 

The only true solution when facing a problem is prayer.  Take it to the Lord.  Let Him handle it.  He knows how to take care of it.  He knows what to do about it.  You don't have to worry that He can't or won't have the solution.  He has your answer.  So don't worry or be anxious about the problem, pray about the problem and give it to God instead.

Have a great day.  The solution for your problem is prayer, not worry.
