Don’t Be Anxious

There is so much I wanted to post about this week: Pornography, Marriage, Forgiveness, Love, Calvinism, attending multiple churches (or how not to succumb to peer pressure), Seeker Churches versus Believer Churches, Dispensationalism, The television show on BET called “Meet The Faith”, etc..

However, as I am writing this at 1:00AM Monday morning, all that I can focusing on is the following verse:

Philippians 4:4-7 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 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 your minds in Christ Jesus.

All I can do is simply praise His name, give thanks and pray.

I went to my standard 5:45PM Saturday evening service which turned out to be Communion Service. After Communion ended, one of the Pastors (who is a Rabbi, who has accepted Yeshua as his personal Lord and Saviour) invited everybody that needed healing to come forward. Just them by themselves. I immediately stretched forth my hands and began to pray for those who needed healing. Not just those who were able to come forward but for all. The worship team lead into two of my favorite songs and I began praising Him, thanking Him and kept praying for healing for everybody.

I felt that I had to come back on Sunday morning and pray again for those needed healing.

I noticed that when I think about other people, I never worry about my future holds. Lately, I am trying not to be anxious but I would be lying if I don’t think about it a little. I keep coming up with what I need to do, how can I approach my next job in this time of transition and can I serve in ministry? My faith is still absolute but I have to pray harder and harder every single time. I pray just for myself but I tend to simply pray for others with all the prayer requests that I have received.

When I think about others, joy and peace overwhelm me. One could argue that thinking of others gets your worries off of your mind. In a way, that is true. When I do pray for others, I reminded on how incredible and awesome our God really is.

Thank you all for those who took the time to pray for me. Can I pray for you?
