Don't Panic!

Have you thanked Him?
Have you praised Him?
Have you made it your priority to agree and cooperate with Him today?
Have you taken that deep breath and listened for what He has for you today?
1 Timothy 2:1 (The Message)
1-3The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know.
Isaiah 41:9-10
Don’t panic. I’m with you.
    There’s no need to fear for I’m your God.
I’ll give you strength. I’ll help you.
    I’ll hold you steady, keep a firm grip on you.
Now that is a tough order huh; NOT panic.
Life presses in with its stuff. You know too much month and too little money.  A little inconvenient flu.  Holiday pressures and stress.  Maybe the boss has said there are going to be some “changes” coming next year.
Yikes!
Stuff like that can make one panic!
But GOD encourages us not to PANIC!  HE has got this.  HE has got you.  Temptation causing you to freak a little? I’ll hold you steady.  Financial security slipping? I’ll keep a firm grip on you.
Remember the Lord promises strength, help, and protection.
He promises to stick by our side through thick, thin, good and bad.
Deuteronomy 31:6
He will be faithful to you. He will not leave you alone.
Never forget, the enemy does his best to challenge our faith. He fires dart after dart tipped with fear and uncertainty.   He works hard to make life’s unsettling circumstances our sole focus. He knows if he can divert our attention, induce a little fear our natural tendendancies of panic will surface and take over.
That is why today and every day we must diligent in prayer and disciplined in filling our minds with the truth.
GOD is with us! Psalm 46:1
GOD is for us! Romans 8:31
GOD has our back! Psalm 33:18-19
GOD desires the best for us! Romans 12:2
The truth goes on and on!
There is no need for fear!
Decide today to trust these promises God. He's filled His Word with scriptural assurances to keep us steady in the faith and calm in the midst of life’s difficulties!
Don’t panic!
I love you all
