Phillipians 4:6-8 (MSG)
Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.
I have said and heard this words many times. But i just saw it for the first time that
1. When you worry, you are easing substituting prayer in your mind.
2. Worries and Prayers can be shaped.
3. God knows everything but you can still ALLOW HIM KNOW your concerns.
4. Putting christ or worry at the center of your life is up to you.
Recently i have had to question peace. What is the best way to explain peace?
Is it a sense of feeling empty, bland or void of emotion?
Now i realise that the feeling like your life is all over the place, splattered like a juicy tomato against the wall and it seems like someone is using His hands to gather you up and mould you into form. Like a human using his hands to keep a new chick warm.
I don't know how that works but the image just engrafted in my heart when i saw this scripture.
Recently i have been fretful about a lot of things,thinking that worrying about them means that i'm not being slothful in business. But my worrying about them hasn't change anything. Worry and prayer are two different sides of the same coin. When you speak to God are you worrying to him or praying to him?
When you contract a job out to someone, letting them know your concerns highlights areas that you would want them to pay attention to. Worrying would translate into wearing your hard hat and pitching your tent on the site to work on it (usually you end up disturbing the work).
Let God know what you feel, let him gather you up. Whether its a failed relationship or a bad decision, allow him to gather you up and fix you. There's a great sense of safety that comes with God's wholeness. At the end of the day, you just realise that things are moving and you will physically and emotionally feel the fixing process as its going on.
God will not try to fix you, he will actually fix you. Send worry packing let Christ reign.
I love you, (you know that already right).
