You Can Get There From Here

Day 148    I Don’t Care!!

Philippians 4:6 (NIV)

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

God is telling us that we do not have to worry.  But here’s what He is telling us:  “…in every situation make your requests known to God.”  When anxiety comes, PRAY!  Tell God about it!!

Years ago a lady told me, “I don’t want to bother God with the little things in my life because so many other people have bigger things for Him to deal with.”  Like He isn’t big enough!!

He doesn’t want us worrying or even spend one minute in anxiety—especially when He has given us this instruction:

1 Peter 5:7  Amplified Bible

Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully.

He wants you to cast the whole of your concern onto Him because He cares about you watchfully.  (He’s watching out for you!!) You don’t have to take that care because He said He would, if you would release it to Him.

Here’s how you do that:  When anxiousness tries to come on you, just say, “I DON’T CARE because God cares for me!!”  (You may have to say it more than once in your day but say it as many times as you need to!!)

GPS  (Directions)

·   Write down your biggest concern on a piece of paper and stick in Your Bible in I Peter 5:7.  Let the top stick out like a bookmark.

·   Put your Bible somewhere where you can see it several times a day.

·   Each time you glance at your Bible, thank God that He is taking care of that concern you have released to Him.

Prayer Focus:

Father, I have tucked my greatest concern on Your wonderful promise that You care for me affectionately and you are watching out for me.  I can truly say, “I don’t care because I know You care for me!!"
