Do Not Be Anxious...

I've been thinking alot these days about how since having a baby, my anxieties and worries have doubled, if not tripled!  I've always been somewhat of an anxious person, but now with a little one to care for and teach and help grow into a responsible adult, hopefully with a heart for Jesus, I find myself tempted to be anxious about every little thing.  The other day, though, I remembered Philippians 4:4-9 (NIV84):

⁴ Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! ⁵ Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. ⁶ Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. ⁷ And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

 ⁸ Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. ⁹ Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

I am holding on to these words!  Hope you can find some peace in them as well!
