Don’t be anxious, instead be excited!

 

Have you ever been super stressed about a project, test or paper? Well I know for me recently, I have been having a lot of anxiety and stress over trying to turn things in on time and making sure I do everything right, which leads me to become anxious. The devil tries to see what he can do to make us stirred up. Whether we are scared, nervous or anxious, the devil likes when we feel all these negative emotions. What we need to do instead, is to cast all of our worries and troubles onto him. 1 Peter 5:6-7(ESV) Says, “Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.” Jesus want us to find peace in him, and he doesn’t want us to have anxiety or be stressed. When we put our faith and hope in Christ, we won’t have to fear anything, for the only fear we have to fear is God himself. 

I think that when we look at our next assignment, whether it’s a test, project, or paper, we can pray to God about it and ask him to help us through the assignment.  Give ourselves to God and he can handle it all! We need to ask God to help us not only finish and turn in the assignments, but to do the work to the best of our abilities. 

How will you give yourself to God this week? 

Some Bible verses to conclude:

-Philippians 4:6(NIV), “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation by prayer and petition,with thanksgiving,present your requests to God.”

-Matthew 6:34(NIV), “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
