*GOD IS MINDFUL OF US*


What a mighty God we serve.. We should be anxious for nothing;)

In Philippians 4:6 Paul writes "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God."

It is a great comfort to me to have God's word instruct me in this way. The very fact that I'm told by my heavenly Father to not be anxious is in itself reassuring. If the one who holds the universe in His hands, who causes the grass to grow, who knows when a single sparrow falls out of the sky, and who has the power to raise the dead from their graves tells me not to be anxious I believe I have cause to trust him.

But bless God, he does not leave us with an instruction only, left to infer from it and his character that all will be well. No, he goes on to give us the reason for not being anxious, namely we have a God who hears our prayers, is interested in the details of our lives and answers our petitions according to his perfect will and our eternal good. The very reason we can obey this instruction is because we can pray to the God in heaven and that with thanksgiving.There is no reason to fear or doubt that our prayers will go unheeded. He has told us that he knows us and will never suffer our loss. Therefore, when we take our concerns to our loving eternal father we do so with a heart full of hope and gratefulness, knowing that he who cares for the lilies cares infinitely more for his children.;)
HE THINKS OF US ALWAYS, HE IS MINDFUL OF US.;)
