Positive Daily Inspiration - July 20, 2022 - REPLACE ANXIETY WITH THANKSGIVING
“Have no anxiety about anything, but … with thanksgiving let your request be made known to God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:6, 7
You are not anxious about the outcome of any situation. You praise and give thanks that the right answers are forthcoming. You know that, with God, the right outcome is assured.
You are not anxious about your health. You affirm aloud in prayer – “My faith is in God’s healing life within me and I am thankful. I praise God that healing is taking place now.”
You are not anxious about the well-being of family members.
You affirm aloud in prayer – “I praise and give thanks to God that my family member (insert name) is a child of God. Guide this person and lead them in right and happy ways.”
You are not anxious about your future.
You affirm aloud in prayer – “I praise and give thanks that God has made lasting, loving provision for me and mine. Now and always, we are one with God and one with God’s good.”
Jesus said in John 14:27, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you.”
Sometimes we may feel that we could be peaceful and happy if things were different in our life – if, for instance, we had a new home or a different job, or if a family member or neighbor or a business associate would act differently. But peace of mind comes from within and is not dependent on conditions or circumstances.
Peace of mind is achieved through quiet prayer that attunes us to God, fills us with inner peace and frees us from doubts or disturbed thinking. Our mind is then open and receptive to new ideas which we can use to bring forth good results in our life.
When we make a regular practice of prayer and meditation, we look at ourselves and our life with a new vision. We no longer feel that if only some circumstance or some people were different, we could be at peace. We see the power of God at work – in the present moment, in the present circumstances – and we feel thankful and blessed.
There are times when all of us need to know that we are in the presence of God. In any need, in any kind of situation, all that we really need to be aware of, to feel peace, is to realize that God is with us.
“Thou dost keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee.”
Isaiah 26:3
POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:
Dear God, I accept Your gift of peace. Not from outside myself does this gift come. From the innermost heart of me, Your peace is given. I feel Your peace and all anxiety is cast out. Tranquility permeates my being, soothing my emotions, and filling my mind and heart with joyous serenity.
In my world of daily events, in my relations with others, in my plans, goals, and strivings, I may at times feel frustrated, I may meet with opposition, and I may have tribulations, challenges and problems.
But when I come to You, dear God, the troubles of the outer world lose their power to distress or upset me. I fully accept Your peaceful presence and all anxiety in me is transmuted into calm. This moment is holy, for in this moment, I enter into Your spirit of peace.
Thank You, dear God, for helping me to live without anxiety. Thank You, God for Your priceless gift of peace. I shall cherish it, and I promise to share it with others.
In Jesus Christ’s name … Amen
