Verse of the Day

6 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. Phillipians 4:6-7

Life can be so "messed up" in today's world. Good people do bad things all the time, and each wrong or hurt can make us a little more "jaded". The one thing I have discovered is that prayer helps any situation. Fellowship with other believers and their prayers is very effective in helping us overcome what life throws at us. God never said being a Christian would be easy. As a matter of fact Jesus states just the opposite. However, what we have to realize is that we are accountable for our own thoughts and actions. When fear, bitterness, anger, doubt, etc. start to cloud our hearts that affects our thoughts. We must seek God in prayer and petition daily. He wants us to discuss even the small details with him. Today, seek God's peace by surrendering your thoughts to the Lord.
