Don't Worry

”Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, 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.”Philippians 4:6-7

Our hectic, busy lives often leave us feeling tired, anxious, and unfulfilled. We find ourselves trying to meet time deadlines, satisfy others or just trying to get through the day. At the end of the day, we look back and wonder where the time went and what did we really accomplish. We were doing things but were sometimes left feeling that we didn’t do enough. We pondered the past, worried about the future, and let the present slip through our fingers.

One strategy that is available to us, is the practice of Mindfulness: a meditative tool that allows us to focus just on today. As Eleanor Roosevelt once said: ” Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift, that’s why it’s called the present.”In order for us to have more satisfying lives that provide us with the opportunity to grow spiritually, to live peacefully and to love genuinely, we need to REST, RELAX, REPLENISH AND RELEASE. In other words, we need to let go and let God have His way in our lives and He will bless us exceedingly, abundantly above all that we can ask or think. ” God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”2 Timothy 1:7

Let us pray:

Dear God, help me to become more: more loving, more generous and more productive by focusing my energies and time in being present and talking to you in prayer. When I spend less time in wasteful activities, I can become a stronger, more useful member of your Kingdom. I ask this in the name of your son Jesus Christ. Amen
