STOP WORRYING ABOUT EVERYTHING!
Philippians 4:6-8

Most of us a worriers!  We all tend to be anxious about the past, present and the future.  Paul, in his exhortation to the Christians of Philippi, exhorted them to stop worrying about everything.

Paul was a practical man and so he gave his readers information that they could understand and get their teeth in to so to speak.  He listed several steps to break the habit of worrying:

First, you have to choose or make a determined decision to stop worrying…it is your choice!

Second, you must choose to turn your worries over to God and let Him know your anxieties and give them and most of all leave them with Him in prayer! 

Third, you must choose to be willing to thank God in the midst of your anxieties and problems! 

Fourth, you must choose to think or keep your mind on things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, good report, virtuous and praise worthy!

The Scripture says with authority that if you choose to do the things listed above that emphatically you will possess the peace of God and continue to have the peace of God, which passeth all understanding which will control your emotions and mind!  In others words God is willing to take anxieties and worries and exchange them for calmness and peace if you choose to do what He says!  Sounds like a good swap don’t you agree?
