| Thought 4 Today |
Do you realize that what
causes you to be afraid or worry is that you care about someone or something?
If we didn't care we would never fear or be concerned. Satan knows this and
attacks us about the people or things that we care about. We are never attacked
about things we don't care about. Think about it! Now we are always going to
care about your families and friends, and about many other things in life. But
there is a difference between caring and trusting God. Many times we carry
around a load of care. That's not what we are called to do as children of God.
We are to place our every care upon His Person. When we do that we enter into a
realm of rest, since everything is riding upon His Person. That's what faith
really is - trusting Him with the people and things that we love the most. When
we experience that true trust, anxiety and worry leaves. But beware! Satan
always tries to bring it back, and he will be successful if you sign for the
package of care when he attempts to deliver it. Caring is great, but it's
not trusting. Trusting God is a higher realm than caring. So let's put all of
our cares upon His Person. He is ever strong and faithful!

| A Prayer To Receive Jesus Christ As Your Lord |
Romans 10:9 NLT: "For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
Jesus becomes the Lord of your life by your own personal invitation and declaration, and by believing in your heart that God raised Him from the dead.
PRAYER: "Jesus, I invite you to be my personal Lord and Savior. I believe You died for my sins and that God has raised You from the dead. This very moment I declare aloud with my own mouth that You are Lord of my life! Thank you for Your forgiveness and your unconditional love. Jesus, you are the Son of God! From this moment forward I determine to live for You because You died for me. I surrender myself to God. I am now Yours. Thank you for saving me and making me a brand new person deep within my heart. Thank You for this new beginning and the assurance of heaven being my eternal home. I love You, Lord Jesus, because You first loved me! Amen." |
