The Big Idea: 

If you are feeling the weight of worry today, know there is a peace God wants to give you. He wants to relieve the anxiety that has filled your life. The place of peace is prayer. You can cast your anxiety on God. Whatever you are facing invite Jesus into it and let him handle it.

Main Points:

1. Crisis comes to us all. No one is immune. It seems our natural response is to worry.
2. We must see that worry is unproductive. Whatever our circumstances, worry never helps us. There is an old quote that says, “Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do, but it gets you nowhere.”
3. When we feel the anxiety, worry, and fear rise on our hearts, we immediately take them to God in prayer.


Today’s Scripture Verses:

Philippians 4:6-7 - “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.”

1 Peter 5:7 says, “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”

Psalm 139:23 - “Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.”
