Word of Hope for Today with
Bro. Rolly Custodio
Don’t Worry (Part-1)
‘Don’t worry about
anything…’ Philippians 4:6 NLT
Identify
the source of your worries. Did you grow up in a fear-filled family, always
feeling insecure, never measuring up, and never hearing words of affirmation
and approval? Are you listening to the prophets of doom, hearing only about
what’s wrong, and how much worse it’s going to get? What’s the source of your
anxiety? What feeds your worries? Until you can express your fears you can’t
expel them. Putting your worries into words disrobes them. They look weak and
silly standing there naked.
In his
novel Life of
Pi, Yann Martel’s main character, Pi, finds himself adrift at sea on
a lifeboat with a 200 kg Bengal tiger as his companion. While on the lifeboat,
Pi begins to analyze his fears, both of the sea and the tiger. He gives this
counsel: ‘You must fight hard to express your [fear]. You must fight hard to
shine the light of words upon it. Because if you don’t, your fear becomes a
wordless darkness that you avoid, perhaps even manage to forget, you open
yourself to further attacks of fear because you never truly fought the opponent
who defeated you.’
So pull back the
curtain and expose your fears, each and every one. They’re creatures of
darkness and can’t stand the sunlight. Financial fears, relationship fears,
professional fears, safety fears – call them out in prayer. Drag them out and
make them stand before God. How do you do that?
‘Don’t worry about
anything; instead, pray about everything… Then you will experience God’s peace,
which exceeds anything we can understand…’ (Philippians 4:6-7 NLT).
Today’s
Prayer
Heavenly Father thank you for your
Word today. Lord, I come before you with a humble heart. Lord I thank you for giving
me a spirit of courage and sound mind so that I can face every enemies with
courage and more strength. Lord helps me
to always stand strong in my faith and serve you with for your glory. In Jesus
Name, Amen!
Prayer for Salvation
Lord I admit I am a sinner I repent of
all my sins and I receive you into my heart as my personal Lord and Savior
Amen. If you mean that prayer above from the bottom of your heart you are now
saved. It is God’s Word promise in John 3:16 that if you trust His Son Jesus
you will not die but you will have Eternal Life. Welcome to the family of God.
