[SPEAKER_00]: Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God. [SPEAKER_00]: And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds and Christ Jesus. [SPEAKER_00]: Bill of Beans 4, 6 through 7. [SPEAKER_00]: If that is how God closed the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire.
[SPEAKER_00]: Matthew 6, 30 Lord God, your word tells me to be anxious about nothing, to not worry about what I will eat or drink or wear. [SPEAKER_00]: Christ, you encourage me to pause and reflect upon the flowers that scatter through the fields. [SPEAKER_00]: Though they are left exposed to the elements, they fear nothing, because they know you supply everything. [SPEAKER_00]: I must confess that I am so blessed. [SPEAKER_00]: I rarely stalk my prayers with pleas for bare essentials.
[SPEAKER_00]: Riture than food, water and clothes. [SPEAKER_00]: You have provided my soul with shelter from life's beating wind and rain. [SPEAKER_00]: everlasting water for scorching seasons, and spiritual sustenance from your word. [SPEAKER_00]: Too easily, I take these indescribable gifts for granted, neglecting Thanksgiving, and instead offering prayers as pleased for life's extra. [SPEAKER_00]: More money, more cloud, more me.
[SPEAKER_00]: God grant me the humility to thank you for not only the bare necessities, but for sustaining and fulfilling my heart's desires in ways that you know our best. [SPEAKER_00]: Allow me to recall that I truly have little to worry about when you supply everything I need and more. [SPEAKER_00]: Meanwhile, bless me with patience when I grow worried about my surplus when unexpected bills wreck my plans are bolted doors alter my course.
[SPEAKER_00]: Help me accept that in my pursuit of over-bundance, I'm consumed with the world's fears, what ifs and need for control. [SPEAKER_00]: Allow my heart to pause and remember the flowers scattered in the fields for there. [SPEAKER_00]: They never need an ever abundance to grow. [SPEAKER_00]: In fact, they don't want too much water or too much sun. [SPEAKER_00]: They find peace and purpose and let a use apply just what they need.
[SPEAKER_00]: Their peace comes from the steady assurance that you are the one who can supply the perfect measure of blessings. [SPEAKER_00]: And as a good guide, a surplus isn't found solely in what you pour out or shine on us, but in who you are. [SPEAKER_00]: make me anxious about nothing, because who you are is everything that I need, and you're only name I pray Jesus.
