It is FRIDAY.....FAITH.....FEARLESS FRIDAY.....`Don´t Worry....BE.........`!!

I could not choose between tuesday or wednesday  from this week promises in July


When problems arise...instantly i tend to worry. I struggle with that over and over....So remembering...memorizing those 2 promises is much needed.........

I was reflecting on the thoughts written for these two days by Barry Adams


Psalm 86:7 KJV
7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee:
for thou wilt answer me.




Jesus told us that in the world, we would have trouble. He went on to encourage us that we could be cheerful because He had overcome the world. In this Psalm, David is calling out to God to help him. David is aware of the many promises that God made to Israel and was confident that when trouble came, God would answer him.

Sometimes I think that God is there for the really big problems, but He is leaving me to my own resources for the little problems that pop up in every day life. I believe that God is ready, willing and able to help me in whatever problems I face today. Big or small. He promised to be a Father to me (2 Corinthians 6:18) and fathers are there for their children all the time. Whatever trouble you might face today, be encouraged in knowing that when problems do arise, you can call out to your heavenly Father and He will answer you. 



Matthew 6:25-26 KJV
25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?


Promise #208: Don't worry, I will take care of you.

This is a relatively short promise compared to the lengthy corresponding Bible text. But if you look at the simple message that Jesus is saying, the promise is short and sweet. When I was growing up, I was taught that worry was a sign of being responsible. If I didn't worry, then I didn't care.

As I get older, I am learning that many of the things that I was told were actually not the truth. Worry is not helpful to us. Worry is not a sign of responsibility. While worry cannot extend our lives, studies show that it can shorten our lives because over 70% of illnesses are stress related. This only goes to show that our bodies were not created to deal with a lot of stress.

Jesus encourages us to 'take no thought for our life'...period. The reason why we don't have to worry is because we have a Father in heaven who has promised to take care of us all of the days of our lives. In this passage of Scripture, Jesus tells how His Father cares for the birds of the air who do not sow or reap or store into barns. He then asks the question... How much more valuable are you than the birds?

Worry is a sign that we are not yet convinced of our value to God. Don't worry about how much you worry though! Just ask God to give you a deeper revelation of your worth to Him. Fathers provide for their children. Children don't have to beg for their provision, they can just rest in the knowledge that they are being cared for by a loving Dad. Don't worry... God will take care of you! 


Father God 
I am YOUR CHILD 
and
You are MY heavenly Dad.
Forgive me Lord
for
Picturing Your fatherslove
so often with what the world teached me as an Child.
Put in me YOUR WORD
YOUR WISDOM
YOUR THOUGHTS
Speak it over me Lord.
So worry can´t poisen my heart and mind
It will be washed away
It´s grip on me will be gone
BUT instead an longing comes in me
to SEEK YOU LORD more and more.
This i pray in Jesus Name 
AMEN.

I think you and I chose the same two promises. What would we do without our Heavenly Father? I never want to find out. I looked forward to the day when I stand before Him and can thank Him for His many blessings to my family and I. Have a blessed day

Blesings Bernice... I think I've seen these Promises before today... I am so glad that this week's Promises spoke to you so deeply and needed.
Now stand on His Word! May you have a deeper revelation of your worth to Him....Amen to your prayer!

Don't Worry Be Happy!
Enjoy a wonderful weekend free from worries, because he cares for You!
Peace,
Peggy

Many blessings,

Feel free to leave an message that you came over !

QUOTE from LYSA TERKEUST!! (from " A MESS")
I'm convinced there's a reason the first four letters of Messiah spell mess. We need Him. Only the Messiah can take our mess and turn it into a untangled message of hope, forgiveness, and ultimately love.
