Defeat Worry and Anxiety

The Word coming forth out of a believer's mouth, with faith to back it up, is the single most effective weapon that can be used to win the war against worry and anxiety.

For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
--- Mark 11:23

My own reflection on this Thought:
* Faith, Word of God, and also prayers are the effective weapon to conquer worry and anxiety. Just let God take control, while we surrender our will to Him. Then we'll find ourselves less worried... (-fon-)

God's Appointments

God has an appointed time, or we might say that He has set appointments, for us concerning certain issues in our lives. We might as well settle down and wait patiently because that is when it will happen and not until then.

You will arise and have compassion on Zion, for it its time to show favor to her; the appointed time has come.
--- Psalm 102:13

My own reflection on this Thought:
* Waiting isn't always a wonderful thing. It might make us impatient, and sometimes drive us into despair. But, God's timing is the best for us, He knows everything and He has arranged everything accordingly in His Time. (-fon-)

Make Time for God

There is a big emphasis today on spending personal time with the Lord, and rightly so. We spend time with Him by talking to Him and reading His Word, which brings us into His presence. More than anything else, we need His presence. He is the only One Who can do anything for us that will be permanent.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life : in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
--- Psalm 16:11

My own reflection on this Thought:
* If we're so busy we might say that we don't have time for God. But actually, if we look into it more deeply, I might say if we don't have time for God means we don't give any priority to Him. If we prioritize Him, we would able to find: even in the most busiest day of our life, we'd like to talk to Him, and we'll manage to arrange some quality time with Him. (-fon-)
