My Niece is Missing

Hello fellow bloggers. Trouble has come again in my family. Jesus told us this in John 16:33, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

This is my beautiful, quiet niece, Unique, who always texts me back. Lately, she hasn’t responded to anyone. My heart is sad and (truthfully) anxious, but I hold on to the word of God found in Philippians 4:6, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”

My request to God is that she be found alive. I solicit the prayers of all you who believe in prayer’s power.

What would we do without the Lord? Some troubles are heavy. Sheesh! But, He helps, comforts, and cares. If you never met Him, try Him (Psalm 34:8).

Be blessed until next time! ❤️

Worrying about Worry

No matter how dark the night, or bleak the news…

No matter how difficult the trial, or long the test…

No matter how unfair it seems, or how much it hurts…

Just don’t worry!

Though you’re toiling the same soil, yet the fig tree has no bud…

Though you’ve prayed and prayed some more, no answer is in sight…

Though you’ve loved, said a kind word, but a slap returns instead…

Just don’t worry!

Whether your anxiety is real or anticipated,

your fear happening or imagined in your mind…

Whether uncertainty has drained your spirit,

blown your smile away with the wind…

Even here, just don’t worry!

Why? Philippians 4:6-7

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

A worrier? Don’t worry. Make your request.

Be blessed until next time! 🙂
