Are you trusting and thankful?

The big news in the United States for the past several years has been the presidential election. It has created fear in many. They fear the future, the ‘what ifs’, the downfall of the economy. Since the election has come and gone, many continue to lament about the fate of the country.

I find it sad that those who are fearful are simply missing the “big picture”. The alternative to fear is prayer. Let me repeat that: The alternative to fear is prayer. When you focus on the Lord, your fears will diminish.

But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.  Matthew 6:33

It has been said, “The way to be anxious about nothing is to be prayerful about everything.”

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  Philippians 4:6

Are you fearful? Do you pray? Are you thankful? Do you rejoice in the Lord? Do you trust Him?

Ruth
