"Don't You Worry, Child."

"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. (Philippians 4:6-7 MSG)" 

I stumbled across that verse this morning. It really hit me hard. 
And, while it really does speak for itself, let me just tell you: 
I know, it seems nearly impossible to be anxiety/worry free about things. We all do it. 
Buuuuut, if we take Paul's advice and turn our worry into prayers, just imagine the outcome! 

Whenever you start to worry or start to feel anxious, just stop what you're doing and pray. It'll help the situation. I promise. Let God and His peace guard your heart from anxiety/worry.
