RESTORATION TODAY
THURSDAY 5TH JANUARY 2017
BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP.

THEME: BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known to God. Philippians 4: 6.

So many people today are living uptight, worried, and anxious about the future, filled with frustration and concern.

In the natural there may be good reason, but understand, living that way is not God's best. God doesn't want us to be filled with anxiety and frustration; He wants us to live in peace. You can find rest in Him knowing that no matter what is happening around you, God Almighty has His hand on you.

The next time you're tempted to worry or be anxious about something, remember this verse. God invites us to come to Him. In fact, the Bible says He rewards those who diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11: 6). But notice, we can't just come to Him anyhow. He wants us to come to Him with a heart of gratitude and thanksgiving. You can begin by simply saying, Father in heaven, thank You for the privilege to come before You. Thank You for hearing my prayers?.

ACTION POINT:
As you come to God with an open and humble heart, He will hear you and fill you with His peace and joy to live free from anxiety all the days of your life.
