How many times do we fret and worry about that which we have little control over? Much of our worry can be left in our Fathers hands. When looking at ourselves in the mirror where do we turn first – to worry and being anxious or to God? I wonder what life would be like if we turned to God first. These are a few verses from a song “First” by Lauren Dangle:
Before I bring my need
I will bring my heart
Before I lift my cares
I will lift my arms
Before I bring my need
I will bring my heart
And seek You
Before I speak a word
Let me hear Your voice
And in the midst of pain
Let me feel Your joy
Before I speak a word
I will bring my heart
And seek You
Matthew 6:25
“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life
6:27
And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?
6:31
Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat? ’ or ‘What shall we drink? ’ or ‘What shall we wear? ’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you
6:8
Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him
Philippians 4:6
do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus
