Help me turn my worries into prayers - Bluidkiti's Alcohol and Drug Addictions Recovery Help/Support Forums

Philippians 4:4-7

I don't know about you, but I'm a worrier. I worry about all sorts of things. And my worries do all sorts of things to me. They agitate me. They make me restless and anxious. They make me bitter and resentful. They sour my capacity to love the people in my life and they dampen the creative insight I could bring to my work. Yet in the midst of my annoying worries, the Lord Jesus is near. Through Jesus, my worries can become requests that make my needs known to God. And when that happens, the peace of God, which surpasses anything my thoughts and worries could conjure up, guards my heart and my mind in Christ Jesus. In the space that only God's peace can create, I find myself embodying the gentleness--and the love and the creativity--needed for whatever it is I am facing. God's grace is always sufficient.

Lord Jesus, help me turn my worries into prayers so that I can live in God's peace. Amen.
